Got Child Care struggles? Your lawmakers need to know!
This Mother’s Day, help us share your child care experiences so lawmakers
know how big and consequential the child care crisis is…. And how not
having childcare pushes moms out of the workforce because we know
waitlists are simply too long, moms need to travel miles to find a center
because there are none in their communities, and the summer care conundrum
which is around the corner.
We need to hear from you: What are your child care needs right now? Are
you struggling to pay for child care? Are they experiencing long waitlists
or staffing issues? Celebrate Motherhood by sharing your experiences with
legislators and reminding them, moms don’t need good thoughts and wishes
for Mother’s Day– they need action on child care!

Vote like child care depends on it (because it does!)
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!
Use MomsRising’s super quick and easy tool to make sure you are registered
to vote and all your information is up to date. If you haven’t registered
yet, you can register now!

ACT NOW: Maternal Mental Health Justice includes Reproductive Care!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
We can no longer ignore that the maternal mental health crisis in the
United States is being worsened by the attacks on our reproductive
freedoms. Because we do not live single-issue lives, women's health issues
are intertwined.
On multiple fronts, women are fighting efforts that give authority over
our reproduction to politicians and judges. Moms are the most affected by
this because the fact is 6 out of 10 women who get abortions are already
mothers.
This current state of affairs, where our reproductive rights are being
stripped away, is only worsening the mental health of women, mothers, and
birthing people. Recent data has shown an increase in depression and
anxiety symptoms in states where abortion bans are in place.

TELL CONGRESS: Pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Right now, the United States is the most dangerous place to give birth in
the developed world, with major racial disparities where Black women lose
their lives at 3 to 4 times the rate of white women due to
maternity-related causes, independent of age, economic background, or
education, a fact that has done unchanged for several decades. If we’re
going to save our moms, we need everyone to be a part of the solution.
This is where the Black Maternal Health Momnibus can make a real
difference. This packet of legislation takes urgent, serious action to end
this crisis by building on existing legislation in Congress to
comprehensively address every dimension of America’s maternal health
crisis.

to address the Black maternal health crisis in America!
