Dear Friend,

There are tough times ahead for sure. But the strength, care, and love we give each other now and going forward will be our fortress, from which we will be resilient, build our power, and ultimately win!

The 2025 volunteer New Beacons of Hope Community Leaders fellowship program is one such fortress.

The Beacon program is a close community and network of mom activists across the country, who collaborate with and support MomsRising and each other as they strengthen their advocacy, take action, and make a real difference for their families, communities, and the nation.

*Will you join us?

Apply now to join our exciting volunteer New Beacons of Hope Community Leaders fellowship program. (Click this link to see our powerful, inspiring video about the program!) If you are fired up to take action, and also looking for resources and a caring and supportive community to help you do so, the New Beacons of Hope Community Leaders volunteer program is for you.

You may already be a community leader, or perhaps you are looking to amp up your advocacy and leadership skills. This volunteer program will give you hands-on support and guidance on a range of advocacy tactics, including how to:

• Organize meet-ups
• Conduct on-the-ground voter engagement activities
• Advocate directly with lawmakers
• Speak to the media
• And much more!

Here are some comments from moms who’ve just completed the program:

Kayla said: “I am so glad to have these opportunities and be a part of that voice in bringing change to our country and communities!"

Sunshine said: “This has been a very blessed experience. I loved the love and support and all of the things that I learned.”

Pamela said: “Thank you for all the support and encouragement. Everything that was poured in me made me an even stronger leader!”

Are you in? Our New Beacon Super Mom volunteer leaders will help us shorten the distance between mom´s voices on the ground and Washington, DC, and who want to make a difference in 2025. We are looking for Super Moms to unleash their organizing and leadership skills at the cutting edge of MomsRising’s movement to create change, especially in the uncertain times ahead.

Here are some program details:

• Each volunteer New Beacon Community Leader (or New Beacon) will get skills to build and lead their own hub of volunteers, drawing from personal networks of family, neighbors, and friends, and also from MomsRising members near them, with MomsRising backing them up every step of the way.
• Each volunteer New Beacon Community Leader will learn how to undertake one or more in-person or online events or actions every month or so, choosing from a list of suggested activities or in consultation with MomsRising. The more active you are, the more you’ll learn and the more powerful you’ll be!
• Each volunteer New Beacon Community Leader will be invited to a special online program orientation for education and networking, as well as participate in monthly online program meetings for additional training, community building, and brainstorming.
• In this 10-month program, each volunteer New Beacon Community Leader will be offered a small advance volunteer reimbursement stipend. You’ll also receive an advocacy toolkit with useful and fun items to help build Hubs, build the MomsRising movement, and build the grassroots power of moms and families.

Partner with MomsRising and become a New Beacon Mom Leader! APPLY NOW.

We'll be reviewing applications, including scheduling follow-up interviews, over the next few weeks, with acceptances decided by late January, and the program launching in February.

Please feel free to forward this email to other Super Moms who you think would be strong candidates for this program too.

Thank you for your interest, and for all you already do with MomsRising!

In power and solidarity,

- Gloria, Kristin, Jessica, Carrie, Catalina, Karen, Xochitl, Selina, Felicia, Monifa, and the entire MomsRising.org & MamásConPoder Team
