Mother's Day, 2025

Proclamation 10937 of May 9, 2025

Mother's Day, 2025

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

America's mothers are the heart of our families, the
light in our homes, and the stewards of our Nation's
future. From infancy to adulthood, our mothers shape
our characters and form our consciences--and play a
crucial role in raising the next generation of proud
Americans. This Mother's Day, we celebrate every
extraordinary mother whose unconditional love, warmth,
support, and devotion have enriched our lives,
influenced our culture, and upheld the promise of our
great Nation.

From our earliest moments on Earth, mothers have
nurtured their children with patience, wisdom, caring,
and kindness. They teach us to love and help us to
navigate the triumphs and challenges of life. Our
mothers are also always in our corner, serving as a
lasting source of comfort, reassurance, and
inspiration. Their love transcends time, generations,
and circumstances.

Mothers serve as our protectors, shielding the youth
and guarding them from harm. They instill the values
that shape our character, and their time, talents, and
unwavering dedication continually uplift the lives of
those in their care. For that reason, my Administration
is committed to empowering American mothers and
uplifting American families. From defending the God-
given dignity of every human life, born and unborn, to
supporting mothers experiencing unexpected or at-risk
pregnancies, to making fertility treatments more
affordable, we want families across America to grow and
thrive. That is why I will continue to defend the child
tax credit and work to ensure that families can enjoy
the highest standard of living on Earth on a single
income.

Under my leadership, we are advancing the American
Dream and ensuring that it is accessible to every
family and every child. As President, I will continue
to protect the rights of parents to raise their child
in a free and fair country without the pervasive
influence of far-left ideology that isolates children
and undermines parents.

On this Mother's Day and every day, we honor the
selfless service of every mother in America. We offer
our heartfelt gratitude for their endless love and
lifelong devotion--and we celebrate their remarkable
contributions to our families, communities, culture,
and Nation.

The Congress, by joint resolution approved May 8, 1914
(38 Stat. 770), has designated the second Sunday in May
each year as ``Mother's Day'' and requested the
President to call for its appropriate observance.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim May 11, 2025, as
Mother's Day. I encourage all Americans to express
their love and respect for birth mothers, adoptive
mothers, foster mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, and
the many women who step into the role of motherhood--
all play an important part in guiding our future as
beloved maternal figures, whether with us in person or
in spirit, and to reflect on the importance of
motherhood to the prosperity of our families,
communities, and Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
ninth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand
twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
