~ Boston, MA - In a resolution passed by the City Council on July 11, 2026, MADMOMS (Mothers Against Drugs, Inc.) was recognized for its dedication to raising awareness about substance-use-related harms and providing support to those affected by loss and recovery.

Johnson's more than two decades of service to Boston communities, including her work with The Youth for Unity Project, The Doll House Corporation, and the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute, were highlighted in the resolution. MADMOMS offers holistic healing services, support groups, community events, and educational programming to promote awareness, recovery, resilience, and wellness.
