Campaign to Make Mother’s Day a Three Day Weekend Hits the Streets for Final Push
On Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12, local volunteers will be in downtown Seattle gathering signatures to ‘Give Mom a Monday’ the petition to make Mother’s Day a three day weekend. Volunteers will be outside 607 Pine Street in downtown Seattle, and will be asking people to show their appreciation for moms everywhere by signing a petition that proposes a new holiday to be observed the Monday immediately following Mother’s Day.
Volunteers are at it again this upcoming weekend for the final push to ‘Give Mom a Monday.’ The goal by Mother’s Day Sunday is 10,000 signatures to take to local and state officials in hopes of officially naming May 14th ‘Mother’s Day Monday.’
