Dear Friend,

Have you ever stood at the grocery store totally ready to pay, only to realize you left your money or card at home? Or run around your house desperately searching for the glasses that are sitting right on top of your head?

We’ve all had those moments. Moms have to remember SO MANY THINGS at the same time. It can be exhausting and overwhelming to be on top of it all!

But having your vote and voice count is something we at MomsRising DON’T want you to stress about. Which is why we are sending you a reminder to take a super quick moment RIGHT NOW to register to vote or quickly check that your voter registration is up-to-date!

I probably don’t need to tell you how important voting is, BUT I do want to share how the critical issues we care about that impact our lives come down to the decisions made at the ballot box. For example, the federal budget that was passed two weeks ago included nearly a $1 billion increase for child care and Head Start.

The support for child care in this budget is good news, but we know it’s not enough to solve our child care crisis. Right now, more than half of families live in child care deserts, where families either have access to NO child care or there are not enough child care providers available.[1] In addition to this, across the country, the annual price of infant child care often exceeds the annual cost of in‑state tuition at a public four‑year university.[2]

Child care continues to be unaffordable and inaccessible while child care providers are paid poverty level wages. We need leaders that understand the challenges that America’s families are facing. ALL 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be up for election this November. This is a big deal, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to be correctly registered!

Don’t let the chaos of life prevent you from voting! CLICK HERE to check that you are registered to vote and all your information is up to date. If you haven’t registered yet, click here to register!

We know you forget the cell phone in your hand or the glasses on your head because of the hard work you do every single day to support, love, and care for those around you. Our economy can truly prosper and our families and country can thrive if people like you take action, make calls, sign petitions, and VOTE! Thank you for all you do!
