Do I have to be a mom or parent to participate? No – anyone and everyone is welcome to volunteer to write MomsRising voting reminder postcards! Who is receiving the postcards? NEW FOR 2026: We aren't blasting postcards to just anyone. We are laser-targeting Democratic moms in key toss-up districts where races will be won or lost on razor-thin margins. These are moms who care deeply about affordable child care, real health care, and safe communities (just like you), but they don't always make it...
For 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has restricted federal health programs like Medicaid from covering abortion care, unfairly burdening low-income and working families. MomsRising is urging members to tell Congress to pass the EACH Act and guarantee health care access for all.

On International Safe Abortion Day, we are fighting back against growing attacks on reproductive care and demanding that Congress safeguard medication abortion and telehealth access nationwide.
Because saving money on a tax bill doesn't mean much if families end up paying the price somewhere else. Moms understand wanting relief. Groceries cost more. Child care costs more. Healthcare costs more. Housing costs more. Florida families are stretched thin, and telling homeowners they could pay less in property taxes sounds pretty darn good. But moms also understand something else. There is no such thing as making billions of dollars disappear without somebody feeling it. If money is saved...
