On 10/17, we're showing up and taking action locally. The goal is plain and simple: Make sure every eligible voter has a plan, knows their options, and is ready to cast their ballot. In states where this is an option, we're also voting EARLY.
Moms know it's best to be ready to pump with a phone and a snack handy. We also know it's best to be ready to raise our voices with our VOTE!
This #NoKings isn't just a march. It's a nationwide early voting party. Are you in?
MomsRising was proud to attend the Institute for Women's Policy Research's #PowerPlus2026, joining researchers, advocates, and changemakers to explore the future of work, economic mobility, and gender equity. Together, we're working toward a future where women, moms, and families can thrive!
Paid $10/hr less for doing the same job—while bringing in 4x more sales. That was Catalina's reality as a working mom.
Real stories prove why we urgently need the Paycheck Fairness Act.
🗣️ Tell Congress to act:

Over a career, the Latina pay gap adds up to over $1.4 MILLION in lost income. That is money that should be going toward housing, healthcare, and childcare.
Demand equal pay for Latinas today: https://action.momsrising.org/sign/LEPD2026/
On average, Latinas earn 53 cents for every dollar paid to white men. For Latina moms, it drops to 41 cents. That's $33,300+ lost every single year.
Take action now and tell Congress to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act! ✊🏽

Our pop-up lemonade stand continued making the rounds in Bucks County, Harrisburg, Scranton, and LeHigh Valley! PA families are feeling the squeeze of rising costs for gas, groceries, child care…everything! We're showing Reps. Bresnahan, Mackenzie, Perry, and Fitzpatrick: we have the receipts!
We hear about ridiculous, destructive, and harmful proposal that the Trump administration put out recently to take money out of child care — which is already underfunded — and give it *only* to married, stay-at-home moms with Lauren Hipp, @momsrising.org, @mamasconpoder.org
The lemonade stands are part of Economic Security Project Action’s “The Price Is High” Week of Action from September 23-30, an affordability-focused accountability push in key competitive districts across the country.
