welcome to the

HOOT SHOP

America is the only developed country in the world without national paid maternity leave.

While some companies offer new parents paid leave, more than 75% of American mothers working in private industry must take unpaid leave to give birth and recover with their infant.

To that, we say: This is some bullshit.

It penalizes families for choosing to have children, specifically mothers who take an immediate hit on their earnings—not to mention their physical and mental health.

It hurts babies, whose mothers are forced back to work–one in four mothers in the US returns to work after only two weeks, which negatively impacts bonding, breastfeeding and other factors that contribute to long-term health.

And it hurts businesses, especially small ones, who are forced to carry the financial burden of offering this basic human right to their employees.

It’s misogynistic, short-sighted, and, frankly, dangerous for families and for society in general.

That’s why we’ve set up the Hoot Shop, where you can support someone’s maternity leave and buy some cool swag.

100% of the profits from the products in the Hoot Shop will go towards funding maternity leave across the country, starting in Missouri, where most mothers are breadwinners. 

At Hoot, we believe maternity leave is a human right. If you agree, grab some swag and help give moms and babies the time they deserve to thrive.

In Missouri: 85 percent of Black mothers, 54 percent of Latina mothers, 52 percent of white mothers and 41 percent of AAPI mothers are family breadwinners.
