Autumn is in full swing - and as we plan for events and holidays that bring our families closer together, it's important to remember that immigrant families are still being torn apart. Immigrants are our neighbors, friends, and family members, and we must step up for them. Our October #KeepMarching meeting is Tuesday, October 29, 8 PM ET / 5PM PT, and we’ll be talking about attacks on immigrant rights, the human toll of these appalling laws and practices, and what we can do to help.

The 2020 election is more than a year away, but families across the country are telling us that they can’t wait to vote! One of the voting challenges we hear most often is that it can be hard to wait in long polling place lines with children. That’s why we couldn’t be more excited to announce the launch of our Super Voter Treasure Boxes for 2020! The treasure boxes come fully stocked with bubbles, small toys, stickers, tattoos, and all sorts of fun stuff to keep the kids occupied while parents and caregivers wait in line. These were a huge success in both 2016 and 2018. But the secret...

3D-printed guns are a grave threat to public safety and national security. It is madness to give everyone in the world free instructions on how to produce them. 3D-printed guns are untraceable, because they don’t have serial numbers. 3D-printed guns are undetectable, because they are made of plastic. And 3D-printed guns can be produced by anyone with access to a 3D printer and blueprints, making a mockery of background checks, concealed-carry permits, and other commonsense gun safety measures. Tell the State Department to stop free downloads of blueprints for 3D-printed guns by terminating...

Since the tragic shooting in Parkland, the national conversation on gun safety has dramatically changed. Students have taken the lead on asking for meaningful and sensible gun reform, and have elevated important and often-ignored discussions about gun violence in communities of color across America.

MomsRising members, like so many Americans, have stepped up to the students' call for action: they are have showed up to student-organized school walkouts, marched in...

“I hope my kids are okay.” This is the last thought that Angela Peters (1) , mother of two, had before she lost consciousness. Her husband had just shot her.

When she tried to escape, he shot her once in the chest and then four more times in the head after she had passed out. He then sent their kids to the neighbors before getting in his car to shoot one of Peters’ friends, before finally turning himself in to the authorities. Angela miraculously survived the...
