Moms For Freedom Agenda
A Vision to Lift Our Nation

These are the top 10 Mom Policies from the 2024 Moms for Freedom Agenda every leader should support right now:

1. Workplace Justice and Paid Family and Medical Leave:  Advance permanent, comprehensive paid family and medical leave and earned sick time laws that give every working person access to paid leave. Raise the minimum wage, abolish the tipped minimum wage, achieve pay equity and transparency, and protect LGBTQIA+ people from discrimination through laws and executive orders.   
2. High-Quality, Affordable Child Care: Expand access to high-quality, affordable child care and pre-K in a publicly-funded, comprehensive early care system that ensures family-supporting wages for early educators and provides choices to families to meet their needs — regardless of race, zip code, ability, identity, the language they speak, or any other factor.
3. Access to Health Care & Aging and Disability Care: Secure quality, affordable health care for everyone by reducing prescription drug prices and overall health care costs. Expand Medicaid coverage by closing the coverage gap and increasing access to aging and disability care so unpaid family caregivers can rejoin the labor force. Provide fair compensation and support for care workers, who are disproportionately women of color and immigrants. 
4. Fair Taxation: Support families and our economy and reduce child poverty by making the expansion of the Child Tax Credit permanent, including full refundability and access to the credit for ITIN filers. Enact tax policies that guarantee wealthy individuals and  wealthy corporations pay their fair share, which will generate revenue for the care economy infrastructure the country needs and provide SNAP, WIC, Unemployment Insurance, and other vital programs that support low-income families.
5. Culturally-Relevant, Non-Carceral Mental Health Care: Address Americans’ top health concern by advancing federal investments in culturally-relevant, non-carceral mental health resources for youth, parents and grandparents so families have the support they need to care and to thrive.
6. Maternal Justice: Improve health and well-being before, during and after pregnancy and stem the alarming rate of maternal mortality, particularly for Black, Indigenous communities and communities of color who experience the greatest disparities. Protect the full range of reproductive health care, including abortion care. Make critical investments in maternal health care that will save moms' lives, end racial and ethnic maternal health disparities, and advance birth equity for everyone.
7. Fair Treatment of Immigrant Families: Recognize the contributions of immigrants in our communities and care infrastructure. Create a pathway to citizenship to protect Dreamers, TPS and DED holders, essential workers, and farmworkers. Welcome immigrants with dignity and respect while protecting their right to seek asylum at the border under United States and international law. Fix the immigration system’s excessive backlogs, expand work permit authorizations, and improve access to healthcare and social programs. 
8. Fight Gun Violence: Stop the loss of lives, livelihoods, wages, safety, and well-being caused by the gun violence crisis by dismantling the culture of gun glorification. Ban weapons of war including assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and hold gun manufacturers accountable for their deadly marketing and business practices by repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. 
9. Youth and Family Justice: Replace failed criminal and legal interventions that harm families by advancing non-carceral public safety strategies and investing in public health approaches. End mass incarceration and mass criminalization. Invest in trauma-informed care, nurses, and therapists in schools and move away from school-based law enforcement. End the archaic practice of incarcerating youth. Advocate for accurate and inclusive public education as the foundation of a just democracy. 
10. Democracy Protection: Expand voting rights by increasing access to the ballot while blocking policies that make it harder to vote, making Election Day a federal holiday, and stopping election interference to restore faith in our democracy, deepen mom voter engagement and mobilize mom voters.
