Enola G. Aird is an activist mother. She is the founder and director of Mothers for a Human Future, which is focused on fighting the forces promoting the commercialization of childhood and the commodification of children, and through which she is working to bring mothers' voices into the public conversation about technologies that could alter human nature. Mothers for a Human Future is the successor to the Motherhood Project through which Aird launched a mothers' campaign against the commercialization of childhood, convened a national symposium of mothers to pave the way for an end to the media-generated "mommy wars," and designed and conducted a national motherhood study that pointed to key elements of a mothers' agenda for social change.
Aird is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Barnard College and received her J.D. from Yale Law School. She has worked for the Children's Defense Fund and a variety of media organizations, including the predecessor entities of Time Warner and Viacom. She is the mother of two adult children.
