Thank you for stopping by! We hope you will stay awhile and peruse our site.
The information provided here has been gathered for over a decade by dedicated moms. Many of the scientists, doctors, farmers, health professionals, and researchers we refer to have been researching their areas of expertise for decades. The information on this site, along with the flyers and materials we provide to support you to take action, can empower, your family, and community to have a healthy, happy life for years to come! We are so glad you are here.
Our mission is to educate and inspire mothers and others to transform the food industry and environment, creating healthy communities together.
We support local activities, initiate campaigns, and share solutions nationwide to improve our health and freedoms.
How do you get started?
-
If you would like to find out more about GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and related toxins like glyphosate (Roundup), please click on GMO INFO and watch some of our short videos. You can also click on our blog and on the right side (scroll down) search for GMOs or glyphosate. We have many articles about new studies.
-
If you already know about GMOs and glyphosate, and you want to take action, you will want to start with your family. The first thing to do is to clear out your pantry and go as organic as possible. You may do this in one day or over a period of time. I know I was still finding condiments with GMOs in them years later.
-
However, it’s not enough for your family to go organic --your children’s future spouses, caregivers, teachers, or employers are out there somewhere--and in order for them to be healthy (physically and mentally), they need to know about GMOs and toxins. Our food system and exposure to toxins through chemical exposure, vaccines, and pollutants is a community issue. There are many actions you can take to share with others. Pick ONE and start there--in an area that you feel most connected. That could be your children’s school, church, or with your neighbors. We have flyers you can pass out our “Get Materials” page.
-
How can you raise awareness with your community? If you want to leave a batch of flyers about GMOs and toxins at your library, natural food store, community center, church, or senior center and help to create a healthy community, you can purchase our flyers in small amounts. If you want a large number of flyers, you can host an event (then we know you are serious) and you will get an email with a code for a free box of materials that you can distribute through your community. These flyers will help you communicate with neighbors, city council members, representatives, school board directors, and landscapers why your community would be best served by going organic, both in their diet and with landscaping, and pest and weed control, too.
-
What kind of event would you have? A movie night, organic potluck, coffee gathering, or hosting a speaker at your community center, library, or church has been very successful for our moms. The most effective way to let thousands in your town know about GMOs and toxins in a short period of time has been to join a parade. Find out more about how to do that here. Other moms choose to simply pass out flyers at their local street fairs, parks, malls, or sporting events. If you do it with a smile and simply say, “This really helped my family get healthy, will you take a look?” or “ Do you have a family member with a health or behavioral issue? This could help!” You could change their lives forever.
Our tag line is Empowered Moms, Healthy Kids. A great way to empower yourself is to get our book, UNSTOPPABLE: Transforming Sickness and Struggle into Triumph, Empowerment, and a Celebration of Community, by our founding executive director, Zen Honeycutt. It is inspiring, informative, and moving! Get one for you, your family, and one for your library too!
Whatever you do, do one thing a day. Even if it is sharing one post, or buying organic bread. Each purchase you make, each time you share, you make a difference. If you have the courage to have a gathering, you will realize that you are not alone. Many people now know about GMOs and toxins in food, vaccines, household cleaners, and the environment. You will find that you have a tribe of caring, generous, and creative people if you simply take that step to host an event, pass out empowering information, and listen to your neighbor.
We are in a health crisis. 1 out of 2 of our children have a chronic illness. 1 out of 2 males and 1 out of 3 females are expected to develop cancer in America. 1 in 5 has mental illness. We can do better!
Together we can transform the food supply, the health of our nation, and the future of our planet. We, the mothers who buy 85% of the food and we women who make 90% of household purchasing decisions, have the power to shift the marketplace and protect our people and the planet.
It’s up to us. It’s up to me. It’s up to you. Let’s do this!
Moms Across America is just that.
It's your neighbor. It's me. It's you.
Moms Across America is the brainchild of Zen Honeycutt, mother of 3 boys, one of whom had life-threatening allergies. That is, until she discovered the dangers of GMOs and related pesticides and helped her sons avoid them. Her eldest son, Ben, was the primary reason and her original partner in making massive changes to her family's diet and creating Moms Across America. Later, her second son experienced a sudden onset of autism symptoms at 8 years old. He tested positive for fungus, gut dysbiosis, and 8 times higher levels of glyphosate in his urine than were found anywhere in European testing. Through an organic diet and restoring the gut bacteria, he and all three sons improved in health.
Passionate about caring for her family, and inspired by Robyn O'Brien's Ted Talk "Patriotism on a Plate" and Jeffrey Smith's "Tipping Point Network" concept, Zen created a nationwide network for Moms to reach out & encourage one another. Together, they created a tipping point of information about the benefits of organic food that has been a huge part of growing the organic market from $20 billion at MAA's inception to nearly $70 billion today. The power of one. It starts a movement.
Since its inception in 2012 and the launch of the Moms Across America March to Label GMOs in July 2013, Moms Across America has grown tremendously. Within months, the MAA reach on social media was over 300,000 a week. Today, reaching millions with a single post, and hundreds of millions on podcasts, radio shows, films, and in-person talks and town hall meetings over time, even expanding internationally, this tidal wave of moms has accomplished things most would not even imagine from an organization ten times larger in size and resources. From initiating the first glyphosate testing in America and connecting the most widely used herbicide in the world to dozens of childhood health issues, getting Costso to stop selling glyohosate based Roundup, exposing widespread contamination in food, and inspiring legislation such as the Safe School Meal Act and policy such as Operation Stork Speed, Moms Across America has been leading the way to transform the food industry and health in America and beyond. The MAA team works not just hard and smart, but with heart. Our moms have been mentioned as one of the most powerful political forces in America.
Health is for all; however, poison is not partisan, cancer is not choosy - the MAA team works day and night for the health and safety of all children and our communities, no matter what their political leaning.
The MAA team is a small but mighty group of moms and health experts who have dedicated their lives to creating healthy communities. Our advisors and board members collectively have hundreds of years of experience in science, farming, healthcare, health advocacy, law, parenting, nutrition, and community organizing.

Our Story
It was the evening of November 2, 2012, election night. Zen Honeycutt, mother of three young boys, each with chronic, in some cases life-threatening, allergies to GMOs and toxins in the food supply, found herself sobbing in the parking lot of a meeting hall. She, her family, and 60 other volunteers had just found out that Proposition 37, the California GMO labeling ballot initiative, had failed.
Devastated, Zen knew that she needed to continue the conversation -- that moms around the world needed to learn about GMO’s and toxins in the food supply. She had seen her children recover from their illnesses by eating organic and avoiding GMOs, and knew that others could, too.
So Zen took to social media with the plan to engage as many people as possible. She wanted to have them march in 4th of July parades to raise awareness about GMOs. Within weeks, there were literally hundreds of thousands of moms around the world reaching out to hear her story and share their own. These moms began talking about the health of their children returning -- after traditional medicine practitioners offered no hope. They were inspired by the possibilities. They had valuable experiences and insights to share. They began to seek out and question some of the science. The movement, the community that is Moms Across America, was born.
And that first 4th of July, 2013, thousands marched across the country and millions became aware of GMOs.
