Indiana just became the 31st state (!!!!) to allow candidates to use donations for childcare #CFCC (thanks to a request by 2 mamas Senator Andrea Hunley and State Representative Victoria Garcia Wilburn—along with help from @votemamafoundation). votemamafoundation.org/cfccstates
Last week, the Prince George’s County Council rejected a resolution to allow legislators to vote remotely. That means pregnant CM Krystal Oriadha would be unable to vote safely while on maternity leave.
And guess what? This was done just to silence her.

So disgusted by the blocks that are put in front of pregnant women and moms of young kids running for and holding office. And so proud of all that Liuba Grechen Shirley and Vote Mama Foundation are doing to knock down the barriers.

Sending much love to Jennifer Wexton after hearing the news of her heartbreaking diagnosis. Jennifer is one tough mama, and an incredibly compassionate and fearless leader. I am so grateful for her tremendous advocacy and service in Congress 💙
Extremist groups like Moms For Liberty have launched a coordinated attack on our schools. There's so much at stake — we can't afford to sit on the sidelines.
Vote Mama is proud to support candidates who will fight for ALL kids as hard as they fight for their own. #ElectMoreMoms
Great to get a shoutout from Melinda French Gates in NPR!
So grateful to Pivotal Ventures for supporting our work to break down barriers and get more moms into public office. Together, we're changing a broken system and building the political power of moms!

Did you know that Virginia is the ONLY state in the South that hasn't passed an abortion ban after the fall of Roe? Abortion access across the South hinges on the outcome of November elections.
The GOP came for our rights, and now we're coming for their seats. #ElectDemMamas
Proud mama moment!
Our Founder and CEO, Liuba Grechen Shirley, and her daughter, Mila, joined Governor Kathy Hochul for a women’s rights celebration. Hochul is the first woman ever elected Governor of NY, and was the first member of our Advisory Committee! #ElectMoreWomen #ElectMoreMoms
Last month, Vote Mama Foundation's CEO Liuba Grechen Shirley laid out how mothers are underrepresented and overlooked in politics. In our latest today, she looks at how we can provide a more inclusive space and why we need mothers for equitable representation. ⬇️

AG Fitch authored the lawsuit that overturned Roe v. Wade & refuses to hold corrupt officials accountable. Mississippi deserves better.
Vote Mama is thrilled to endorse Greta Kemp Martin, a mama who has dedicated her life to justice and who will stand up for working families!
We would be a different nation with vastly different policy priorities if more women and moms were serving in office.
Thank you Melinda French Gates for partnering with Vote Mama to dismantle the barriers that hold us back. Together we will build the political power of moms!
