Our 5th Cohort of RISERS is Loaded with MOMentum and MOM Power!
We’re thrilled to announce our 5th RISERS cohort! The RISERS Parent Leadership program’s fifth cycle kicked off in November and we are thrilled to welcome 16 mamas from all over the country who are ready to develop their advocacy and leadership skills, learn how to hold lawmakers accountable, and fight for policies that will help familie not only survive but thrive! These mamas are ready to grow and expand their MOM power!
Advocating for child care, paid leave, healthcare, maternal justice and more!
This year’s group brings together a group of passionate moms who come from all walks of life and bring their powerful life experiences with them! They’re ready to lift up the issues that so many families care about. Access to affordable child care and other early childhood issues like early intervention and special education, support for LGBTQ+ families, access to paid leave and paid sick time, protecting SNAP and Medicaid, and maternal mental health are just some of the issues that these mamas are ready to fight for.
