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: 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. 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

MomsRising members and staff at the Mom Power Bootcamp, visiting the White House and Congress to champion increased investments in childcare and early education.

Supporting our MomsRising movement with a gift is a powerful way to 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.
