West Virginia Passes Landmark Child Care Law — A Massive Win for Families

April 17, 2026
After five years of showing up — at the Capitol, in committee rooms, through hundreds of calls and emails — West Virginia families have won a major victory for child care. On April 2, 2026, House Bill 4191 became law, and it's the most comprehensive child care legislation our state has ever seen.

Tell Congress: No Cuts to Health Care and Child Care to Fund War — Stop the "Big, Ugly Bill 2.0"

April 13, 2026
The administration has released a 2027 budget proposal that threatens to slash funding for essential family programs like health care and child care.

February 26, 2026
When the MomsRising MOMbassador team invited me to attend a Senate hearing on the Hill about child care fund freezes, I thought to myself, what do I as a stay at home mom have to add to this discussion? What can I learn from the experience and how can I move public policy further for families?...
