Want to See Policy Change? Build the Political Power of Moms

About this session

Childcare disruptions.

Attacks on our reproductive rights.

Baby formula shortage.

Maternal mortality crisis.

The list goes on.

Critical voices are missing in politics and it’s time to change who has a seat at the decision-making table.

Liuba Grechen Shirley, VoteMama Founder and CEO, will be joining us to share why building the political power of moms is necessary to see real policy change, and how electing Democratic moms is key to defending our health and reproductive rights.

In this chat, we’ll talk about:

  • Why electing moms moves the needle on policy change
  • Next steps in the fight for our reproductive rights
  • How to take action and support moms running for office
