Rooted in Justice and Joy Means Protecting Black Families from Predatory Marketing

April 17, 2026
Black Maternal Health Week calls us to be rooted in justice and joy. It requires us to imagine and build a world where Black mothers and families are not only surviving but thriving. A world where care is accessible, support is abundant, and joy is not interrupted by preventable harm. To get there, we must be honest about what stands in the way.

West Virginia Passes Landmark Child Care Law — A Massive Win for Families

April 17, 2026
After five years of showing up — at the Capitol, in committee rooms, through hundreds of calls and emails — West Virginia families have won a major victory for child care. On April 2, 2026, House Bill 4191 became law, and it's the most comprehensive child care legislation our state has ever seen.

Tell Congress: No Cuts to Health Care and Child Care to Fund War — Stop the "Big, Ugly Bill 2.0"

April 13, 2026
The administration has released a 2027 budget proposal that threatens to slash funding for essential family programs like health care and child care. MomsRising is mobilizing to stop "Reconciliation 2.0" — a legislative process that would divert taxpayer dollars away from our communities to fund historic military increases and human rights abuses.

Tell Congress to Protect Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services — HCBS

April 6, 2026
This Medicaid Awareness Month, MomsRising is fighting to protect Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS). These essential services allow older adults and people with disabilities to live and age with dignity in their own homes rather than in costly institutions. With federal funding under attack, your voice is needed to tell Congress to safeguard this critical care infrastructure.
