Code of Care

Last updated: March 2025

Mama Circle is a self-organized, trust-based signal of care. To keep this space soft, supportive, and safe, we invite anyone using the #mamacircle 💞 tag to honor the following:

Show up with care

• Respond gently. New mothers may be feeling tender, overwhelmed, or unsure.
• Hold space. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply witness.
• Respect silence. Nobody owes a response, your presence alone may be enough.

Honor boundaries

• Only offer connection where it feels welcome and mutual.
• Don't pressure others to reply, meet, or share more than they wish.
• Never use the hashtag for self-promotion, selling, or business purposes.

Protect each other

• Report misuse. If you see the hashtag being used in harmful ways, let us know by sending an email to [email protected].
• Trust your gut. It's okay to ignore or block anyone who feels unsafe to you.
• Prioritize emotional safety, yours and theirs.

Be inclusive

• Everyone deserves kindness, no matter their background, parenting style, or identity.
• Use affirming language. Avoid assumptions about someone's journey or story.

Remember: you're human too

You don't have to be perfect to offer care. You just need to be present.

The Circle lives in the quiet care we show one another, in the small moments of connection. Thank you for being part of this. 💞
