Tell Congress: Power moms - Pass care policies in honor of Mother’s Day!

This Mother’s Day, as we celebrate the many, many ways that moms power the U.S. (and all of us!), we’re calling on Congress to power moms by passing care policies! Together, we’ve championed AND PASSED many recent care policy advances to supercharge moms across the nation.

Now, we must continue to fight to build the transformational Care Economy policies that we, our nation, and our economy need to thrive: Affordable Childcare, Fair Pay for Care Workers, Paid Family/Medical Leave, and Aging and Disability Care.

Tell Congress: Power moms - Pass care policies in honor of Mother’s Day!

Dear Congress,

This Mother’s Day, as we celebrate the many ways that moms power the U.S. (and all of us!), MomsRising and our more than 1,043,704 super-mom members who live in every state in the nation are calling on Congress to build the Care Economy. Super-moms across the nation are urging Congress to pass the following so families, businesses, and our economy can thrive:

Tackle the Child Care crisis head-on by investing $16 billion a year to stabilize the child care sector, as well as advance long-term investments to ensure every child has a safe place to learn and their parents can stay in the workforce, and that every childcare worker is paid family supporting wages.
Establish a national Paid Family & Medical Leave program, granting eligible workers at least 12 weeks of paid time away from work to welcome a new baby, fight their own health battles, or provide care for a family member in a serious health crisis.
Invest in Aging & Disability Care so everyone can receive super-hero level compassionate care, allowing them to live and age with dignity and independence.
Ensure Fair Pay for Care Workers, whose everyday deeds are nothing short of heroic and are critically important for our families and economy, as well as protect immigrant workers and their families who are a critical part of our nation and care workforce.
Secure access to Reproductive Freedom, including abortion and the full suite of reproductive healthcare, and fortify funding for Maternal Health by advancing policies like the Black Maternal Health Momnibus to move us closer to ending disparities in maternal health.
Permanently expand the Child Tax Credit to allow people to afford housing and childcare so they can work and take care of their families.

Real-life mom superheroes, caregivers, and businesses from every corner of the nation need these policies and are looking for you to champion these policies as we continue this vital mission to build a nation where everyone and our economy can thrive.
