I won’t lie. I woke up this morning saddened by new announcements of Trump appointees armed with policies aimed at hurting our economy and families. But, then I found out that over the past few days, hundreds of moms and dads responded to our call for contributions.

I’m inspired. I’m inspired by what we can do together to reinforce and grow this movement in preparation for the difficult challenges ahead.

Will you seize the unique power you have today to DOUBLE your gift? Don’t let this generous Giving Tuesday match slip away: Make a gift to MomsRising – every dollar will be matched.

I can’t stress enough how much your support will mean to us.

When we invited friends like you to share why you rise for MomsRising, your responses – hundreds and hundreds of them – filled us with a deep sense of gratitude for the resilience, strength and camaraderie of the MomsRising community.

So this Giving Tuesday, the global day of giving, we’re doing two things:

First, we ask each of you to give this moms movement the boost of energy it needs to become bigger, stronger, faster, and even better at making the world a better place for women and families.

Give today! To encourage your generosity, another MomsRising supporter has offered to match your Giving Tuesday gift, dollar for dollar!

That means every dollar you give TODAY turns into two, doubling your power to help women and families rise in 2017.

Second, we invite YOU to experience these beautiful “Why I Rise” stories with us!

So all day today, in the spirit of Giving Tuesday, we’re celebrating moms and dads like YOU on our social networks with “24 Hours of MomsRising.”

Experience all the inspiring stories by connecting with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.

We hope you enjoy “Why I Rise” as much as we do!

And thank you for being a part of this powerful movement. We’re so glad you’re with us.
