Dear Friend,
Democracy is under attack, and we’re building the resistance with YOU.
The news cycle is like a never ending doomscroll of the worst movie plotlines on repeat. But horrifically, it is our reality. From Trump and Republican-led efforts to dismantle government agencies and threats to free speech and due process, to their policy proposals to disenfranchise large swaths of women and defund critical programs like Medicaid and Social Security in order to give tax breaks to billionaires and fund mass human rights abuses—we are under attack.
Yet when injustice, threats of political violence, and uncertainty about the future feel overwhelming, history reminds us that we are not powerless. We carry a legacy of proven tools, tactics, and collective courage from countless movements like ours that can defend democracy and rekindle hope for a bright future. That’s why we are excited to be partnering with leaders like Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal’s Resistance Lab to deepen and strengthen our movement.
The scary truth is that democracies can fall in a matter of months, and time is ticking. The good news is that we have proven organizing tools and tactics at our disposal and people-power on our side—starting with you. Moms and caregivers do this work everyday, and WE are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We deal with constant challenges, fear, anxiety, and uncertainty stemming from the lack of caregiving programs and support, from feeling undervalued in our society, and from the deep concerns we carry for those we care for.
Yet, we are constantly turning that fear and anxiety into power. We all know how to do this already. And if ever we needed a movement full of moms and caregivers, it is now. So, join us.
Listen, community and collective action are the antidote to despair. So in times like this, we need to come together to stand in our power, together. It's time to put everything on the table and get organized for how we fight back and lift our families and communities.
We’ll have expert speakers joining us with their insider knowledge of what’s really going on and how we can work together with our communities to make a difference. Stay tuned for who’s on deck!
