MomsRising

The election is just 11 days away & powerful national mom leaders are rallying! Join us tonight to for a virtual rally w/ @littlelobbyists.com @domesticworkers.bsky.social @nwlc.org @redwine.blue @votemama.bsky.social and more! #MomsVote https://www.mobilize.us/momsrising/event/746348/

Thank you to our Moms' Seal of Approval champions @aoc.bsky.social and @ayannapressley.bsky.social for traveling to Michigan to #GetOutTheVote for care champions like @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! #MomTheVote #ChildCareSeal

Keep the MOMentum going: Sign up to help get out the vote by sharing that you'll invite a friend (or 2 or 3) to party to vote with you: momsrising.org/party_polls.

Republican leaders in Congress made massive health care cuts. Now, half of Americans can't afford health care. Moms are fighting back by voting for Democrats who are working to make health care affordable for all.

YOU are needed to help Mom The Vote! Sign up here to help get out the vote by sharing that you'll invite a friend (or 2 or 3) to party to vote with you: momsrising.org/party_polls

As kids settle back into school, keeping our families healthy & safe is crucial. Join us, @firedbutfighting.bsky.social, & more next Tuesday at 7:30 pm ET for our Virtual Public Health Town Hall on top-of-mind public health topics! https://www.mobilize.us/momsrising/event/1049681/?source=bsky.mr

MomsRising was proud to attend the Institute for Women's Policy Research's #PowerPlus2026, joining researchers, advocates, and changemakers to explore the future of work, economic mobility, and gender equity. Together, we're working toward a future where women, moms, and families can thrive!

Paid $10/hr less for doing the same job—while bringing in 4x more sales. That was Catalina's reality as a working mom. Real stories prove why we urgently need the Paycheck Fairness Act. 🗣️ Tell Congress to act: https://action.momsrising.org/sign/LEPD2026/

Over a career, the Latina pay gap adds up to over $1.4 MILLION in lost income. That is money that should be going toward housing, healthcare, and childcare. Demand equal pay for Latinas today: https://action.momsrising.org/sign/LEPD2026/

On average, Latinas earn 53 cents for every dollar paid to white men. For Latina moms, it drops to 41 cents. That's $33,300+ lost every single year. Take action now and tell Congress to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act! ✊🏽 https://action.momsrising.org/sign/LEPD2026/

We discuss how ordinary people can reclaim their power, fight for freedom, and reimagine democracy, inspired by a new book, Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times, with Skye Perryman, Democracy Fwd, @democracyforward.org.

A new report out of Duke U looks at businesses' experiences with paid leave. Employers report better recruitment and less turnover. We can build a paid leave system that supports working families and thriving businesses. #NCPol Read the report: https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewDocSiteFile/120578

We cover the push for healthy school meals for all, highlighting a congressional briefing and the urgent need for robust policies as millions face SNAP cuts with Alexis Bylander, Food Research & Action Center (FRAC), @fracposts.bsky.social.

We hear about ridiculous, destructive, and harmful proposal that the Trump administration put out recently to take money out of child care — which is already underfunded — and give it *only* to married, stay-at-home moms with Lauren Hipp, @momsrising.org, @mamasconpoder.org

We discuss the critical role of voting rights and the need to engage and excite people to participate in our democracy with Kadida Kenner, New Pennsylvania Project, @newpennsylvania.bsky.social.

We cover the continued pay disparities in America with Ruth Martin, MomsRising, @momsrising.org, @mamasconpoder.org. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/breaking-through-with-kristin-rowe-finkbeiner-powered/id533519537?i=1000788358058

We hear about significant victories for domestic workers and labor rights in Washington State, showcasing progress in protecting vulnerable workers with Danielle Alvarado, Working Washington & Fair Work Center.

The health of all Americans is in jeopardy. When elected officials cancel TPS, impose travel bans, and fund ICE, they're taking away the doctors, nurses, and care workers who keep our families healthy. Join us 9/24 to say #HealthcareNeedsAllofUs. www.healthcareneedsallofus.org

Join us for the next MomsRising Community Meeting TONIGHT w/ @aclu.org @lwv.org and more to discuss how to get out the mom vote, why your vote matters, voter protection and more. Can you join us? RSVP here: https://mobilize.us/s/4sybOz

Groceries. Gas. Healthcare. Childcare. The price of EVERYTHING is too high. Republicans promised lower costs. Instead, they raised our bills. Now, working families are paying more and getting less while billionaires and big corporations profit. #ThePriceIsHigh

A million handwrittenpostcards to moms who don't always vote. Every postcard is handwritten by another mom, pre-stamped and pre-addressed, with one clear message: VOTE. https://action.momsrising.org/sign/postcards/

On the radio show this week, we delve into the experience of testifying in Congress on family economic security, highlighting the disconnect between many policymakers and the realities faced by families with Donna Norton interviewing Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, @momsrising.org, @mamasconpoder.org.

We discuss maternal health, including recent vaccine rollbacks and the importance of national breastfeeding month with Tina Sherman, MomsRising, @MomsRising.org, @MamásConPoder.org.

We hear about the Million Conversations Movement and the power of sharing personal care stories and how they can help shape national policy with Ai-jen Poo, National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), @domesticworkers.bsky.social.

How are families supposed to get ahead when childcare now costs more than college? Childcare costs have skyrocketed in recent years, and families are getting priced out. Parents don't need motivation to work harder. They need affordable childcare and cash. @momsrising.org

Terminating healthcare. Gutting food aid. Cutting taxes for the ultra-rich. The Republican agenda isn't helping moms and families deal with the cost of living crisis. 👉 Listen to @momsrising.org's Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner break down exactly what our leaders should do instead:
