Join MomsRising for a Spring Admin Party Hangout to help make life more affordable for all of us.
Host a MomsRising Spring Hangout to Demand Solutions for the Family Affordability Crisis
Moms Have the Receipts: Setting the Record Straight
Summary: Between March 28 and April 12, 2026, MomsRising is organizing nationwide Spring "Admin Party" Hangouts to strategize and address the family affordability crisis. We are gathering our "receipts" — from grocery bills to child care costs — to show Congress and the administration the real-world financial pressure on American families.
- The Strategy: Parents all over the country are hosting small gatherings to collect stories and photos of skyrocketing costs to deliver to lawmakers for Mother’s Day.
- The Toolkit: When you sign up, MomsRising will send you a "party toolkit" filled with fun materials and tips to help your hangout succeed.
- The Goal: Force a national conversation on making life more affordable, including lower costs for health care, child care, and prescription drugs.
We marched, we marched again, and we’re not giving up! After the incredible energy of the No Kings March, it is time for the next step in our movement. This spring, we are inviting you to gather your friends to raise your voice for affordability!
That’s right. We’re organizing Spring "Admin Party" Hangouts where we’re going to strategize together about the ways we can share with Congress that we’re in a nationwide affordability crisis. Too many elected officials have no clue how hard it is to balance a family budget in 2026 — and it is time to set the record straight.

Gathering Our Receipts for Mother’s Day
We’re hosting these hangouts between March 28 and April 12 to gather our receipts and our stories to show exactly how hard things are for families right now. We want you to snap a photo of any receipt that is causing you to raise your eyebrows in alarm — whether it is for gas prices, the cost of your child care, health care, or prescription drug prices.
The MomsRising Team is going to pull together all our receipts and deliver them directly to lawmakers in late April for Mother’s Day. Together, we’ll highlight the real-world costs our families are facing at the grocery store and the gas station, and ask our leaders to make life more affordable for all of us!
