Dear Friend,
[ [link removed] ]Sign on to the MOMibuster petition to help build momentum in Congress
for Mother’s Day – Tell Congress: Care. Can’t. Wait!
What’s the MOMibuster, you may ask? We are very glad to tell you.
Mother’s Day is coming up, and we are going BIG on our special day to
demand change – and [ [link removed] ]we need your help to turbo-power our impact. We’re
turning the tables on Congress and filibustering them with the first ever
MOMibuster. This powerful multi-hour online event will feature 2- to
3-minute videos from moms, parents, caregivers, care workers, and leaders
all over the country, one after the other sharing their situations and the
policies they need, and driving home the message: Care. Can’t. Wait.
As recent events have starkly illustrated, we absolutely need elected
leaders to prioritize the rights and needs of women, mothers, and families
now. We’re calling on Congress to build a care infrastructure, including:
childcare and pre-K, the monthly Child Tax Credit, home- and
community-based services for the elderly and people with disabilities,
maternal health equity policies and full access to quality maternal
healthcare for everyone, paid family and medical leave, and more!
[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress to get moving on what moms and caregivers REALLY want
and need for Mother’s Day! Sign the MOMibuster petition now to help build
buzz for the MOMibuster and, importantly, also to build momentum for
change.
Starting at noon ET / 9am PT on Saturday, May 7, the day before Mother’s
Day, the MOMibuster will be a powerful online event that will hold space
on Facebook and other social media all through the day, calling on elected
leaders to build a care infrastructure. You can tune into the MOMibuster
for 8 seconds or 8 hours – whatever amount of time works for YOU!
(To have an even more powerful impact, the MOMibuster will also be aired
on rolling billboards around the U.S. Capitol for the Saturday, Sunday,
Monday, and Tuesday of Mother’s Day weekend so no member of Congress can
ignore them, and be referenced in a NY Times ad the Friday before Mother’s
Day. We’ll also be delivering book of MomsRising member stories to every
member of Congress along with a paper flower bouquet on the Tuesday after
Mother’s Day and mailing them enamel pins. One thing is clear: Through all
our efforts, our stories and voices will be heard – and we are a powerful
force together!)
More than two years into the pandemic, moms, parents, care workers, and
caregivers are exhausted. This Mother’s Day, we don’t want flowers, cards,
or empty good wishes. We NEED a care infrastructure because care can't
wait any longer! [ [link removed] ]Sign on now (and also don’t forget to RSVP to join the
MOMibuster online too)!
Please, forward this email to all the moms and caregivers in your life and
ask them to sign on too.
With love and solidarity,
– Gloria, Kristin, Elyssa, Donna, Xochitl, Ruth, and the entire
MomsRising/MamásConPoder team
