About Eleanor’s Squad

This isn’t a brand. It’s a signal flare.
Eleanor’s Squad is a space for women—especially mothers—who feel the ground shifting beneath them and refuse to stay silent.

We are standing at the edge of something dangerous.
Authoritarianism is rising.
Book bans. School board takeovers. Elected officials who call for court abolition and cultural erasure.

Too many of us feel this deeply—and say nothing.
We were raised to be polite. Quiet. Reasonable.
But now they’re coming for our children, our vote, our rights, and our history.
And that maternal instinct to protect?
It’s waking up.

This space is for the women who feel that pull in their chest.
The ones who cry in private and rage in silence.
The ones who raised the kids, packed the lunches, wore the yoga pants—and now say:
“Not in my name. Not in my house.”

But Eleanor’s Squad is about more than resistance.
It’s about reconnection.

Because we’ve been divided.
By design.
By generations.
By judgment.
By distance.
And that separation has cost us something sacred.

We are rebuilding what was broken:
Trust. Community. Collective voice. Multi-generational power.

We believe that finding our courage now—finding our voices here—can help us reclaim them in every part of our lives.

We speak the truth.
We hold each other in the fire.
We protect what’s sacred.
And we are not backing down.

“When the children are in danger, the mothers will gather.”
We are the line. The wall. The shield.
And we will not be quiet anymore.

If you’re here, you’ve found your people.
You’re not alone.
You’re not crazy.
You’re not too late.

Join us.
This is holy ground.
And we are the ones who remember.
