ICYMI THIS WEEK:
Democratic Congresswoman and Vote Mama alum Rep. Brittany Pettersen had to fly across the country from Colorado to Washington D.C. with her newborn son to cast her vote on an important funding bill.

The inability for parents to vote by proxy after childbirth is an example of the systemic obstacles that moms face while serving in government. Every day, mamas like Rep. Pettersen are not only fighting for working families — but also fighting just to do the job they were elected to do.

Here’s how YOU can help break down these barriers and increase the political power of moms TODAY:

1.) Email or call your congress member and urge them to pass Proxy Voting for New Parents Resolution (H.Res 23) — bipartisan legislation that Rep. Pettersen introduced to allow proxy voting for new parents!

2.) Rush a contribution to Vote Mama and support our work getting more moms elected. We rely on grassroots donations, and every dollar has an impact!

Thanks for stepping up and showing your support for mamas!
