Child care costs more than rent in all 50 states. And moms are feeling the pain.
This election season, we need candidates to prioritize bold, transformative solutions to fix our broken child care system.
Help us Get Child Care On The Record by taking action — either in-person or virtually, on your own or as part of a group of Motherhood members in your community.
Take Action
Taking action is easy. Write a letter to the editor, attend a community event or town hall, or get loud for child care on social media — and we’ve created simple resource guides to help you get started.
ATTEND A LOCAL EVENT
Get a group of moms together to raise your hands, raise your voices, and share your stories — together.
WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Tell your story in the local news to shape the issues informing the election.
Get Loud on Social
Ask candidates on social media: “Will you prioritize child care in your first 100 days?”
