New American Leaders and Vote Mama have come together to release collaborative research about the growing presence of “New American Mamas” in state legislatures!

“New American Mamas”—mothers of minor children who are immigrants or first-generation Americans— bring diverse, lived experiences that are critical for shaping inclusive policies, yet they face compounded barriers as both caregivers and representatives of immigrant communities. The research seeks to better understand and support the intersectional identities of mothers and New Americans serving in government.

Our democracy is stronger when all of us can participate. Luckily, our friends at Disability Victory are committed to building a stronger ground work for pro-democracy folks with disabilities to run for office!

Please take this short survey to share your thoughts and feedback about disability leadership and the policy issues that matter to you. Disability Victory will use this information to determine what kinds of programming will be most useful to you and to other disabled people who want to run for office, work on a campaign, or organize for change in their communities.

We’re proud to share that our partners at Dirtroad Organizing are doing the most to build power for hard working people in rural America! Our democracy is stronger when we band together to create more inclusive and equitable communities. 

Whether you’re dedicating to running for office or just want or organize your community, sign the pledge to mobilize for our democracy!
