America’s families need access to affordable child care, equitable time to care for loved ones, and a solid care infrastructure – not wars at home and abroad, billionaires, and ballrooms.

This , let's honor the dual loads of working mothers. Before and after clocking in, moms tackle a world of unpaid labor—meal prep, homework help, carpooling. Let's shine a light on the invisible backbone of our economy and communities.

Did you know? Even while employed outside the home, most mothers spend an average of 2.4 hours daily on primary childcare. This Mother's Day, let's advocate for policies that support their dual roles as caregivers and breadwinners. $PaidLeave

On Mother's Day, let's recognize the unseen force shaping women's economic landscape: unpaid caregiving. From reduced work hours to job losses, caregiving responsibilities take a toll, particularly on mothers of color. This Mother's Day, let's advocate for supportive policies that empower all mothers to thrive.

A mother’s unpaid care work remains undervalued. Let's acknowledge the disparities in caregiving and uplift the mothers who tirelessly contribute to the fabric of our communities.

Historically, the work that women do as caregivers is undervalued and underpaid. Policies like , , and fair wages help close the gender pay gap and would give working moms nationwide a priceless gift this

You know what would be a wonderful way to show appreciation to working mothers across the nation? 🤔

Over 25 million women care for their biological and/or chosen family. Most are also head-of-household. We need policies like to support these working women so they can take time to give and receive care without fear of lost wages.

The best collective Mother’s Day gift is an economy that works for everyone. Let’s pass and provide affordable child care to help take the load off of working mothers nationwide.

Leadership is not about standing above others. It’s about standing with your community.

Our Houston Leadership Class was a space filled with strength, vulnerability, learning, and connection. Every conversation, every story shared, and every voice in the room reminded us that real leadership is built through courage, compassion, and collective action.

We are grateful for every member who continues showing up for their community, supporting one another, and growing into powerful leaders. The future is stronger because of you. ❤️



El liderazgo no se trata de estar por encima de los demás, sino de caminar junto a la comunidad.

We’re proud of every member who showed up, spoke up, and continues to lead in their communities.
