1. BLOG: Voting is a Parenting Responsibility

MomsRising member Lina Acosta Saandal gained the right to vote just a few years ago, and it has become one of her most cherished responsibilities. 

I know that in that voting booth I am using my voice, my values, and my education to choose the local, state, and federal leaders that could help my children, my clients, and my community. When one of us suffers, we all suffer. When one of us succeeds, we all succeed.
