Dear Friend,
Everyone who is a part of this movement has a reason why they fight, day after day, year after year, for a better tomorrow.
That reason could be a specific issue, like your lived experience that all families need affordable child care in order to thrive. It might be because you are beyond sick and tired of gun violence, and know the only path to change is to keep fighting. Or perhaps you or a loved one have benefited from paid family/medical leave or paid sick days, and want to make sure all families have access to these essential workplace policies. Whether you've got one reason or ALL the reasons to be in this fight, we're grateful for your help!
We'll share some of your responses throughout the rest of the year, to motivate others to action. Also, we read everything you share with us and love to know more about YOU - learning more about what each and every member of our community cares about helps to shape our future work.
Here are some examples:
“I rise because I'm unwilling to stand by and be a spectator. I KNOW change is possible, and nothing is more important than our kids future."
“I rise because the U.S. is the most dangerous place to give birth in the developed world, and Black moms are dying at disparate rates across the country from preventable, pregnancy-related complications."
“I rise because I have a child with type one diabetes. I fought for the Affordable Care Act and now I'm fighting for affordable insulin.”
“I rise because I’m proud to have helped pass paid sick days in Colorado!"
Your comments and stories will help inspire even more people to come off the sidelines, will build our movement, increase our impact, and highlight the diversity and power of our members as we move forward. Your comments are powerful. It’s really YOU that guides this movement to build a nation where ALL moms, dads, children and families can thrive.
We’d love to collect 100 comments by December 23. Share a few words with us right now!
Please help us show the real power behind our movement - YOU! So tell us, why do you rise?
Thank you for being a part of MomsRising.
- Kristin
