MomsRising Newsroom

News release Dressed in red capes and wielding the truth about healthcare reform, members of the online and on-the-ground grassroots organization MomsRising.org are fanning out across the country to ensure that people understand what healthcare reform really involves. The effort is a mom-style response to often-cited rumors about such non-existent provisions as those that would empower “death panels” to ascertain whether seniors should receive care.  

News release Moms across the country are setting up meetings with their U.S. Senators to share their unique perspectives on how the current healthcare system is failing to meet the needs of children and families. The meetings are part of a nationwide movement by MomsRising.org, a grassroots online and on-the-ground organization for moms (and anyone who has a mom), to make sure that the voices of women and families are not left out of the healthcare debate.  

News release MomsRising.org, the online and on-the-ground grassroots organization for moms and everyone who has a mom, will deliver hundreds of ceramic tiles with children’s handprints on them to state legislators urging them to “lend kids a hand” and preserve key children’s programs as they work to balance the budget at:   9:30 AM, Wednesday, July 1 North Carolina General Assembly 16 West Jones Street

News release Late last week, women across the U.S. began receiving an unusual Mother’s Day email message which included a humorous and entertaining, customizable short video featuring Beyoncé, a bouncing baby boy (complete with interpretive subtitles), and President Barack Obama. More than a million people honored moms across the country with the “MomsRising.org Mother of the Year” video, which is still sweeping the nation. The video, developed and produced by the online and on-the-ground grassroots organization MomsRising.org, has now gone viral with more than 10 million views to date.
