We didn’t win everything, but– and in no small part because of you – we didn’t lose everything. Thank you. We’re not giving up. We’re not giving up on you...
MomsRising stands with immigrant families and our public schools.

So take a DEEP BREATH and know we see you and are sending love your way. What we also know as moms and in being in community with so many of you, is that moms get sh*t done! So it was zero surprise to us following the election that we’ve been hearing from moms from every corner of this country asking how they can create networks of support...

More than three weeks after Hurricane Helene struck western North Carolina in what Gov. Cooper has called "the deadliest and most devastating storm" in North Carolina's history, things are still far from normal for families across twenty-five counties.
