Dear Friend,

We’re on our 3rd box of hot chocolate with marshmallows in our house. The
days are getting colder and shorter. And I still can’t believe it’s
already Giving Tuesday!

But while I can’t believe how fast time flies (Can you!?!); there’s also a
lot I DO believe in, including our power together to make good things
happen. And since we know you’re getting a LOT of emails on this Giving
Tuesday, I’ll get right to the point: [ [link removed] ]Will you support this movement to
make good things happen – including helping build a nation where every
mom, child, and family can thrive –  with a gift right now? All gifts are
matched today!

Together we can create the future we want for our children and for their
children too. The time to RISE is NOW!

As you know, and as our results show, MomsRising is a highly effective,
very nimble organization, and we are second to none in quickly adapting to
meet the moment so the voices of busy moms and parents are heard by
leaders and the media. [ [link removed] ]Your matched donation today strengthens our
ability to respond powerfully to opportunities to move good policy forward
and also to push back against emerging threats to moms and families.

Here are three recent examples of activities that your generosity
supported over the last year:

* National Legislative Wins! MomsRising’s recent national legislative
successes with you include, in the last year alone, playing a key role
in passing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, the PUMP for Working
Mothers Act, one year of healthcare coverage for all birthing people,
expanded healthcare coverage for young adults, increased national
mental health supports, and a 30% increase in the Child Development
Block Grants. Our success proves our power together, and our
persistence will ultimately bring us to the transformational change
our nation needs.

* Building Power in the U.S. Capitol! One recent example of this is our
high-impact Mother’s Day Mom Power Capitol Hill Picnic! Attended by
over 100 moms and kids, as well as by 20 leading U.S. Senators and
U.S. Representatives, and covered by Good Morning America, ABC News,
Yahoo News, and many local NBC stations; this Mom Power Picnic created
legislative momentum and culture change while highlighting our Mom
Agenda. We also recently delivered your stories from every state in
the nation to every single member of Congress to educate them about
the need for a care infrastructure. 

* Empowering Mom Leaders! This fall, we held a Mom Power Bootcamp in DC
with 35 mom leaders from 20 states, complete with a White House visit
and meetings with members of Congress: Our voices were heard! After
meeting with dozens of MomsRising Mom Power Bootcamp members – moms,
caregivers, and kids from 20 states – the Biden/Harris administration
made an emergency funding request to Congress for $16 BILLION in
childcare stabilization funds

help open avenues for moms and families to build the world we want to see.

Here is what one of our donors shared with us last month about why she
supports MomsRising:

Please take good care of yourself for the long haul, as you and
MomsRising are facing enormous resistance to our desperately needed
systemic and cultural change. Power doesn’t yield easily, as you know so
well!

I’m a lifelong community activist, also social worker and interfaith
chaplain, who has lived and worked overseas, and whose two daughters
have also. Moms know that children need love and security to flourish as
their own magical beings. We also know they teach us about being real,
and alive in the moment.

I am so glad of MomsRising’s inclusiveness and commitment to anti-racism
in every action you take. Your work seems aimed at creating a world
where all beings can thrive and be themselves freely -- this is why I
warmly support you.

- Helen from California
