Together, We’re Fighting for
Moms and Families
We’re committed to winning paid family leave and affordable, accessible child care. Our team moves fast to innovate and pivot as policy evolves, finding new ways to advocate for the support moms need and deserve.
But we can’t do it alone – we need the help of engaged allies like you. Check back often to see how you can stay involved.
Fight for Paid Leave in Your State
America has no national paid family leave policy, and most states don’t support women or men with the time they need to bond with a new child or care for a loved one. Urge your lawmakers to support efforts to secure paid family leave in your state.
Moms First Presents a New Film About American Motherhood
No Country for Mothers explores the culture wars surrounding modern motherhood and how labels like “girl boss” and “trad wife” distract from the real issue facing families: the lack of meaningful support for parents in America.
Demand Mom’s Oscar
Moms are the most thanked people at every Oscars ceremony, yet their real stories are nowhere on Hollywood’s biggest stage. No Country for Mothers changed that, funded and championed by more than 2,500 moms and allies who broke the world record for most producers credited on a single film. Now it’s time for the Academy to notice. Tell Hollywood that mothers’ stories deserve an Oscar nod, not just a thank-you speech.
Watch The Motherhood Lectures
For 250 years, moms in America have been told our struggle is personal — that if we’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or pushed out of the workforce, it’s our fault.
The Motherhood Lectures reveals the hidden history of American motherhood and the forces that have mythologized, moralized, and divided us by design.
Watch the full series and uncover the truth about how we got here — and why this moment demands something different.
