Moms (and people who love them!) were a powerful force in this election. That’s you! THANK YOU!

Moms across the country mobilized their families, their friends, and their communities to vote, overcoming many obstacles to voting during a pandemic resulting in historic voter turnout this year.[1] The huge voter turnout makes our country stronger. This is how democracy is supposed to work. And you helped build that historic wave of voters. Thank you!

→ We congratulate you for your incredible work lifting democracy -- and congratulate Kamala Harris, whose favorite title is “Momala,” [2] on being the first Black, South Asian, daughter of immigrants, woman and mom Vice President-Elect! [3]

What a standout moment in history! As this was historic voter turnout in our nation, we expect that this was also a historic turnout among women voters, especially Black and Brown women, whose leadership in our movement, communities, and across the nation is pulling our country forward.

MomsRising thanks our members, 72,982 of whom volunteered to help get out the vote, for helping to turn out so many voters that many days after the polls closed, election officials are still counting the ballots.

We are so inspired by you, the MomsRising members, for being a huge part of this historic national voter mobilization: More than 72,982 MomsRising members stepped forward to volunteer. MomsRising members sent: 23,558,727 texts and phone calls to infrequent voting moms; 4,457,028 postcards to moms (millions hand-written) to encourage them to vote; and reached more than 88,244,357 million people in English and Spanish through our social media on #MomsVote and #LatinxVotan.

The MomsRising and MamásConPoder GOTV programs helped drive the record turnout as voters across the country refused to be intimidated or have their votes suppressed. We thank YOU, our members, who stepped forward, volunteered, and worked hard to get voters the information they need to vote during a pandemic. We also thank our many amazing community organization partners, as well as the many leaders of color who pulled our nation forward, advancing record voter turnout; and also the essential workers, the majority of whom are women and moms, who we’ve depended on all year and who once again showed up, this time as volunteer poll workers and ballot counters. We thank and congratulate you for your leadership!

This is the beginning of a new day. Now is the time to come together across race and place to ensure that the leaders who have been chosen deal with the pandemic and move us forward together to a better future.

Moms will stay engaged to ensure our country once again advances justice, fairness and equal opportunity for all.

Together, across organizations, essential workers, and volunteers, this all added up in 2020 to historic voter turnout, increased engagement, and a stronger democracy.
