TAKE ACTION: Your input needed! What issues should candidates prioritize?

Mom Crafted, Mom Approved"]

There are dozens of candidates running for President — and it’s critically important to let each of them know EARLY about the policies that moms expect them to champion. They need to know what issues moms, not just corporate lobbyists, prioritize. That’s why we’re creating a “Mom Platform: Mom Crafted, Mom Approved” policies platform that we’ll be giving to every candidate for President. And by “Mom Crafted” we mean YOU!

*Take a moment to share what issues YOU think every Presidential candidate should prioritize as they run for office.
