Remember the $1 trillion of funding for health care that Trump and Republicans in Congress slashed over the summer? $170 billion of that funding has since been funneled to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). [1] That’s right—your tax dollars that once paid for our health care are now funding thousands of poorly trained ICE agents who are terrorizing cities and killing US citizens and immigrants. Trump and Republicans in Congress made extreme cuts to Medicaid to pay for separating...
Despite campaign promises to limit toxins, a recent Executive Order expands the production of glyphosate — a known neurotoxin and probable carcinogen. MomsRising is mobilizing to support the bipartisan No Immunity for Glyphosate Act to prioritize our children's health over corporate profits.

One year after the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD) was decommissioned, communities across the country are seeing the devastating consequences of weakened oversight. MomsRising is mobilizing to demand that Congress reinstate this vital tool to protect our families and ensure transparency in agencies like ICE and Border Patrol.
On the radio show this week, we dive into the importance of protecting democracy from voter suppression efforts. We also hear about the powerful representation and joy we experienced at this year's Winter Olympics -- and how narrative power can shift societal views for women, moms, and our families. Next, we cover the state of OUR union when it comes to maternal health, and the Trump administration’s cuts to crucial programs that are worsening the crisis. Finally, we discuss New York state and New York City's historic investments in child care, how you can make victories like that happen where you live.
As our celebration of Black History Month comes to a close, I feel it’s essential to recognize not only the iconic leaders and pivotal milestones that have marked our journey but also the remarkable women organizers—teachers, librarians, community activists, and policymakers—whose relentless dedication transforms memory into meaningful, lasting change. These women, often working behind the scenes, are the architects of social progress, crafting strategies that drive initiatives like inclusive...
Tea Time with MomsRising NH Matcha & MOMentum with MacKenzie Happy Valentine’s day, friends. If loving New Hampshire families is your love language, you’re in the right place.

While we were still cleaning up the glitter from New Year’s, New Hampshire lawmakers jumped straight into hearings, bill drops, and yep, even more book bans. Thankfully, you all showed up. Moms, caregivers, and other amazing people have...

I had an extremely preterm, medically fragile baby who required...

Congress is fast-tracking the anti-voter SAVE Act 2.0, a bill that would require specific proof of citizenship documents that 21 million Americans currently lack.
