There's no stopping us now--we've got MOMentum!  MomsRising members across our country are gathering at their U.S. Senators' offices to tell them the truth about families' need for health reform.

So far MomsRising has over 90 in-district U.S. Senate office healthcare meetings coordinated by 88 MomsRising volunteer leaders.

Already 27 meetings have happened in 20 states--with more on the way.  This week, so far we had meetings occur in Michigan and New York, and next week we're in Utah.  Volunteer hosts are working to schedule meetings in all states.  We've also got great photos from some of the meetings.

You can see photos and member quotes here: http://www.momsrising.org/HealthcareSenateMeetingHighlights

Want to join in? You don't need any experience or specialized knowledge, and you'll be with a group of MomsRising members.  You can check if there's a meeting near you by clicking here: http://events.momsrising.org/healthcarenow

At these meetings, MomsRising members are delivering a 64-page book of MomsRising member healthcare stories from every state entitled: We Won’t Be Pacified Until Our Broken Healthcare System is Fixed: Mother’s Know Best. You can read these stories at: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1768/images/SenateMeeting_MomsRising%20Book%20Color%20Low.pdf

Elected leaders are responding: One self-described "introverted" mother in Wyoming had Senator Enzi's State Director travel a hundred miles to see her and other MomsRising members for a meeting. We’re finding that mothers are a powerful constituency with elected leaders, and they want to hear from us: Women make up more than 50% of the electorate, and over 80% of women have children by the time they are forty-four years old.
