Do I have to be a mom or parent to participate? No – anyone and everyone is welcome to volunteer to write MomsRising voting reminder postcards! Who is receiving the postcards? NEW FOR 2026: We aren't blasting postcards to just anyone. We are laser-targeting Democratic moms in key toss-up districts where races will be won or lost on razor-thin margins. These are moms who care deeply about affordable child care, real health care, and safe communities (just like you), but they don't always make it...
MomsRising members Molly Middlehurst and Anna Lukacs joined Gov. Abigail Spanberger for Virginia's Labor Week Working Families Roundtable. They shared valuable insight on how the state's new Paid Family and Medical Leave and paid sick leave laws can be implemented in the most helpful ways for families like theirs.

I am a textbook “Type-B” mom. I do not know what tomorrow’s spirit week theme is, I cannot keep track of my kids’ sports’ calendars, and I will never remember what time my three kids were born. If you need someone to start a dance party when we are already late, I’m your girl. The one schedule I have always been on top of, however, is vaccinations. My son Milo was born during a whooping cough outbreak in 2013 — that I do remember with chilling clarity. I have taken my kids for every recommended...

Families across our communities are already struggling with the rising costs of health care, child care, and aging and disability care. At the same time, our country is facing serious shortages of workers who provide this essential care. Now, the Trump administration’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and other countries is putting thousands of caregivers and healthcare workers at risk of losing their ability to work and remain with their families.

They should be helpful for a student’s health and growth.That is why the return of abstinence-only programs is so concerning. More than ten years ago, I worked in teen pregnancy prevention. We knew that abstinence-only programs did more than just give wrong information. We knew they were actually harming young people. Yet these programs...
