Stop the Squeeze: Activation Toolkit, Games and Resources for MomsRising Leaders
MomsRising Fellows and Supervolunteers! Thanks so much for joining the national “Stop the Squeeze” project! Scroll down for resoures and tips for hosting your event.
WHAT´S HAPPENING?
Like you, we’re fed up! Every time we check out at the grocery store, open a utility bill, fill the gas tank, or pay for health care and child care, or even look at our own impossible calendars, we feel it: Moms are being squeezed to the breaking point.
But this is the weird thing. (Well, maybe not so weird). History shows us that building power for much-needed solutions is often created one conversation at a time.
So you gather a couple of friends to discuss what’s "squeezing" you, maybe play trivia, plan to get out the vote, drink some lemonade, and be part of an effective movement!
