Reshma Saujani

This is the most important speech I've ever given. Congrats to @hmc.edu's class of 2025!

I have spoken with hundreds and hundreds of parents since 2020, and affordable childcare has near unanimous support.

Gender relations in the U.S. are broken. This is how I think we can go about fixing it.

“I can’t work without child care, period.” @reshmasaujani.com‬ of Moms First joined @steveadubato.bsky.social to call out the crisis: -40% of families go into debt for child care -Half live in care deserts This isn’t personal failure — it’s systemic. #First1000Days #ChildCare

This is what bravery looks like!

My daughters were part of Girls Who Code. The programs were inspiring, community building, and taught them skills they use in their careers today. Skills unavailable in curriculums in schools in this country. @reshmasaujani.com gave the speech we need at this time👏

This weekend on State of Affairs, @ReshmaSaujani.com of Moms First joins @steveadubato.bsky.social to talk bold solutions for child care—key to the First 1,000 Days Policy Coalition. NJ PBS: 5/17 at 8am/5:30pm, 5/18 at 8am/12pm WNET: 5/17 at 8:30am WHYY: 5/18 at 11:30am #First1000Days #ChildCare

On my Substack this week: "Tradwife" or "Girlboss" and how a binary story about women became a blueprint for broken policy

You’re telling me this is a better use of state funds than child care and paid family leave? 🤔

I had the honor of addressing Miami Dade College's grads — about a third of whom are non-native English speakers and almost 60% are the first in their families to graduate from college. As the daughter of refugees, I thought it was important to remind this year’s grads what makes America great.

HERE’S THE THING: Women aren’t having fewer children because we’re confused about our bodies or waiting on a gold star. We’re having fewer children because this country makes parenting nearly impossible to afford — or survive.

Why aren't American women having more babies? @reshmasaujani.com says the economics sucks. Paid leave would be more effective than $5000 giveaways. reshmasaujani.substack.com/p/want-a-bab...
