We want better for our children than we had for ourselves. I want my daughter to grow up seeing female thought leaders as part of the dialogue, so that she knows to aspire.

It's been six years since the U.S. Congress raised the federal minimum wage. Six years since hard-working moms and dads have seen a raise on their $15,080/year salary. It's time for moms to change this!

Here's the thing, wise adults: it is not up to the children to make you comfortable.

Moms made history in New York last week. After years and months of urging by a committed group of women, Governor Cuomo appointed a special prosecutor for police killing of civilians last week.
