MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of moms, over the last several years, have received a handwritten postcard from a MomsRising mom, urging them to vote. Our powerful mom-to-mom postcard program has been running (and growing!) for 8 years now, and it is one of our most beloved programs.
Take Action
Moms know how important our immigrant community members are in keeping our families and kids healthy.
This Mother’s Day, as we celebrate the many, many ways that moms power the U.S. (and all of us!), we’re calling on Congress to power moms by passing care policies!
Women need full access to reproductive care, including abortions, AND more resources for maternal mental health. We are not living single-issue lives! Urge our leaders to fight for us as whole human beings deserving of bodily autonomy and health.
Rarely are all eyes on moms in the way they are during Mother’s Day week; so as the spotlight shines on our flowers this week, it also needs to shine on the impossibility of mothering in America – and the changes we need to make as a nation so the impossible becomes possible.
Child care is in a crisis in NC, and lawmakers must act! Families can’t afford the high cost of child care or find openings in their area, which can force them out of work. At the same time, early learning teachers can’t afford to work for poverty-level wages and are struggling to provide for their own families, and providers can’t afford to keep their doors open. We must invest in child care now!
This bill would deter immigrants from reporting sexual assault or domestic violence to the police and put members of our community at risk of deportation! It would erode community trust in law enforcement, making our communities less safe and increase racial profiling and family separation. Something as simple as a traffic violation, requiring no jail time, can put people on track for deportation, blurring the lines between the criminal system and the immigration system.
The U.S. is the deadliest place to give birth out of any high-income country. There has never been comprehensive federal action to solve our maternal crisis until the Black Maternal Health Momnibus. Urge Congress to support this vital legislation!
