We see you Mama

Written By Jessicah Perez

Good morning, Mamas,

I just want to take a moment to thank each of you for your continued service to the communities you serve. This past week has brought long days and even longer nights for many of you. You’ve faced difficult situations that demand courage, strength, and resilience — and your sister mamas see you.

We see you hugging and kissing your children goodbye as you head out for another shift, not knowing what the day will hold. We see you protecting your communities, standing by your partners, and showing up with heart and grit. Thank you for the sacrifices you're making — they do not go unnoticed.

If you know another mom on the job, take a moment to send her a quick message of encouragement. Let her know you understand the exhaustion, the worry, the weight — and that she’s not alone.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. If any mama has a need, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Moms on the Job is here for you — in every season, in every moment.

Keep fighting the good fight. The strength you carry as a mother and as an officer is unmatched. Your motherhood family has your back.

With love and gratitude,
Jessicah Perez
