Today, we're celebrating all the mothers in our lives, John.
To honor the occasion, Women's March is fighting relentlessly this Mother's Day for a Marshall Plan for Moms.
Mothers across this country are expected to do it all — and this pandemic has only highlighted the fact that so much of the labor that women and caregivers do every single day is undercompensated, if it's even recognized at all. That is why we urgently need a Marshall Plan for Moms that takes bold, necessary action to allow moms to build equity and power, and we're eager to move these policies forward through the American Families Plan and American Jobs Plan put forth by the Biden-Harris Administration.
Women's March is proud to be on the front lines of the fight for things like access to affordable child care, a child tax credit, and paid family leave for all. But the important organizing and advocacy work it will take to get these policies passed — especially with the GOP trying to block our progress at every turn — will take a lot of work, and honestly, a lot of funding. So, in honor of Mother's Day, we have to ask:
Flowers and gifts are a great way to celebrate Mother's Day. But let's take a moment to consider what else moms really want:
💐 Paid family leave for all
💐 Child tax credits
💐 Equal pay and a fair, living wage
💐 Reproductive health and rights
💐 Access to quality, affordable child care
💐 And so much more
Moms have been devastated by this crisis, and Women's March has been busy organizing to get moms the support needed to fully recover and prosper.
Earlier this week, we hosted a webinar with Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY) and Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner from MomsRising. And for the entire month of May so far, we've been taking daily action to fight to help create women's jobs, level the playing field, and secure the care and support women need and deserve in order to thrive.
All of this work is so important — because the truth is, there aren't many women-led organizations out there who are as focused as Women's March on securing these priorities for women. If you can, a donation today to support our work would go a long way.
Keep up the fight,
Women’s March
P.S. Flowers are great today, John, but let's fight together for what mothers really want: A Marshall Plan for Moms that uplifts all women and builds women and mothers' equity and political power. Donate $3 in honor of a mother-figure in your life to help fund Women's March's organizing work.
