To our MomsRising members -- you are incredible. We thank you for persisting, especially when the going is tough. We remain heartbroken about the outcome at the top of the ticket, as we also thank you for doing the Get Out The Vote work that helped get 51 candidates to victory, as well as helped get many ballot measures over the finish line. We didn’t win everything, but– and in no small part because of you – we didn’t lose everything. Thank you. We’re not giving up. We’re not giving up on you...
On the radio show this week, we cover what’s expected to happen in Congress when Trump takes office in 2025; the urgent need for policy for the fair treatment of immigrant families, including TPS and DACA; how you can get involved in the push for accurate education and equity; and the ways ballot measures in states are paving the way forward. Special Guests include: Catherine Rowland, Congressional Progressive Caucus Center, @webuildprogress ; Linda Stone, MomsRising/MamásConPoder, @MomsRising...

Everyone gets sick and everyone needs access to health care—no exceptions! Health care is a basic human need, and no one should be left out. Quick signature: Tell President-Elect Trump and Republicans in the U.S. Congress that they need to take cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) off the table! What’s happening? Health care proposals from Republicans for next year would make deep cuts to Medicaid and also undermine the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in order to pay for their massive...
If you are still grappling with the results of the most recent presidential election, you are not alone. The pandemic and the years that followed have made me even more aware of the challenges women face in society. There have been so many events in my life that have made me think about just how much I have struggled to be heard, how important it is for us to listen to one another, and that we as a society are simply not listening to women. We are not listening to women’s perspectives, women’s...

Mamas and caregivers, we see you. We know that when things get hard, things get harder with caregiving. We often don’t get to stop and rest in the same ways. So take a DEEP BREATH and know we see you and are sending love your way. What we also know as moms and in being in community with so many of you, is that moms get sh*t done! So it was zero surprise to us following the election that we’ve been hearing from moms from every corner of this country asking how they can create networks of support...
As we gather this November, we recognize the mix of emotions many are feeling — grief, fear, hope, and determination – and reflect on the election and the road ahead. Even as we recognize the challenges, we’re also holding gratitude – for you, for the movement we’re building together, and for the many victories we DID have this November. Thanks to the efforts of 82,938 amazing MomsRising volunteers, we made a real impact for moms, families, and communities nationwide.
MomsRising stands with immigrant families and our public schools. On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, the North Carolina Senate joined the NC House in voting to override Governor Cooper’s veto of HB10, an anti-immigrant bill. As a result, it will become law effective December 1, 2024. This anti-immigrant legislation requires local sheriffs to collaborate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, increasing the risk of arrests and deportations, even for minor offenses. It also...
Wish you could tell your state representatives what is important to your family without having to go to Tallahassee? Have you heard of delegation meetings yet? Well I hadn’t and I went to my first delegation meeting last year and it was AMAZING. Here is the download. Legislative delegation meetings are public meetings (as in anyone can sign up to speak and can attend!) happening in each region of Florida before the start of a new state legislative session. Who goes to these? Everyone who needs...
On the radio show today, we discuss the 2024 Election, the results, and some of what it all means; we dive into how to protect democracy; we cover the Trump cabinet nominees chaos; and we talk taxes and how Trump tax policies in 2025 could impact real people (not just billionaires). Special Guests include: @AvraSiegel , Lev Collective; Barbara Arnwine, Transformative Justice Coalition, @barbs73 @TJC_DC ; Ruth Martin, MomsRising, @MomsRising ; Samantha Jacoby, Center on Budget and Policy...
