Hey Friend,

I think you’ll agree that too many moms and families in District of Columbia faced incredibly difficult challenges this year, from healthcare scares and struggles with access to care, to sky-high childcare bills, to terrifying threats of gun violence, to the absence of desperately needed paid family/medical leave in a critical time, to the negative impacts of racism and misogyny in our paychecks and in our lives.

But there is hope! Here in District of Columbia, thousands of ordinary people like you and I united with humor, grace, persistence, and fierceness to meet these challenges. We picked up our phones, made our voices heard at meetings and rallies, wrote impassioned emails and letters and postcards urging action, and advocated for reforms that really help families.

We resisted and persisted. And together, we made unstoppable MOMentum.

Your generosity fuels all of the work we do in District of Columbia and across our great nation. Today, I’m asking you to Keep Rising for the great people of District of Columbia and beyond with a year-end contribution to MomsRising Together.

When you give, a sister MomsRising donor will MATCH your gift and DOUBLE your power!

Thanks to your activism and support, we made real progress for moms and families.

• In Washington state, MomsRising supporters celebrating an amazing equal pay victory — ESHB 1696 which bans employers from asking about pay history
• In North Carolina, years of focused advocacy spurred N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper to grant state workers up to 8 weeks of paid parental leave
• In New Jersey, MomsRising supporters helped win important protections for New Jersey families when Gov. Phil Murphy signed off on legislation that expanded the state’s paid leave law to 12 weeks and increased parent pay to 85 percent
• In California, the MomsRising community celebrated a huge victory for our littlest learners — The California state legislature made nearly a billion dollars in investment to support babies and toddlers in the state budget, including increased reimbursement rates for infants and toddlers and expanding slots to over 13,000 children.

With your support, we can continue to make real change like this for women, moms and families in this state and EVERY state — and keep building a democracy and an economy that works for all of us.

Please consider a generous contribution today knowing that your gift — of any amount — will instantly have TWICE the impact for moms and families right here in District of Columbia, and throughout our beautiful country.

Thank you for being a part of this amazing MomsRising community. We’re so grateful for your generosity and support.

With love,

Kristin, And the team at MomsRising Together
