You might’ve known us as
P.O.P.
Power Over Predators.
That name carried us through years of life-saving work—bringing education, prevention tools, and hard truths into classrooms and communities across the country.
But as our mission grew, so did our movement.
What started as a program became a national uprising of mothers, educators, and allies demanding better protection for kids. We needed a name that matched our fire.
MACE – Mothers Against Child Exploitation is more than a rebrand.
It’s a rally cry.
It’s our next chapter.
And it’s still built on the foundation of POP which is now our Program for education, prevention, and fearless protection.
We didn’t walk away from our roots—we weaponized them.
And now, we’re coming back louder, stronger, and more united than ever.

Meet the Founder:
Lisa Hansen
Lisa never planned to lead a movement. She just wanted to protect her own.
But when she uncovered the layers of grooming, trafficking, and silence woven into our school systems, screens, and social norms—she couldn’t unsee it. And she refused to stay quiet.
So she started speaking. Loudly. Relentlessly. Publicly.
And what happened next was bigger than she ever imagined.
Lisa became the voice for moms who knew something wasn’t right, but didn’t have the words or tools to fight back. With her signature fire (and polka-dot dress), Lisa transformed fear into fuel—and built a national movement rooted in truth, protection, and unstoppable maternal strength.
Her story is a lifeline. Her mission is personal. And her fight is far from over.
Our Mission
To stop abuse with prevention education, identify,
rescue and restore those affected - by giving them skills to break cycles,
build hope and shape a brighter, thriving future.
Meet the Movement
We’re here to protect kids. Period.
It’s time to speak up, stand up, and shut down the silence surrounding grooming, trafficking, and abuse. Our programs were designed to do just that—with training, resources, and community support to give everyday parents the tools they need to protect what matters most.
