🗳️ This upcoming Election, Allyson Felix is excited to announce that she is partnering with Chamber of Mothers to remove childcare as a barrier for all moms heading to the polls! We have created a Vote Like a Mother tool to help you get informed, get helpful resources, and feel confident to vote. You can research your ballot and find all your candidates and stances in one place. Our tool also provides you important information on accessing childcare so you can vote early or on Election Day. One of the critical barriers holding mothers back from voting in this election is: CHILDCARE. This is especially true for Black moms in historically under-resourced communities, so we want to help ALL moms - get out to vote, either for early voting or on Election Day, November 5, 2024. If you live in these cities, here’s how you can get FREE childcare support to vote: North Carolina: While moms and caregivers go to the polls and vote, Politisit will reimburse up two hours of childcare. Western North Carolina: Having been devastated by Hurricane Helene, Politisit will reimburse up to a full day’s worth of childcare to vote. Los Angeles: Moms can access childcare vouchers for early voting and Election Day voting with childcare providers Brella. New York City & Westchester: Vivvi will offer up to a full day of childcare to research your ballot and vote. Go to our voter education too, sign up for these free childcare offerings, or access other information around childcare and voting - https://lnkd.in/g3kmWJ-m

It’s a haunted house, but it’s actually just a lack of support for mothers in America. Tell us yours, “It’s a haunted house, but…”

🚀 Excited to share that we launched the #KansasCity chapter of Chamber of Mothers last month! I’m honored to be a co-facilitator of our local chapter alongside the amazing Lisa Gray and Rebekah D'Ambrisi. Chamber of Mothers is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) uniting mothers as advocates to create a better America with a focus on three core pillars: ✨ #PaidFamilyLeave - The United States is the only industrialized nation with no federally mandated paid leave for new parents. 25 percent of new mothers are back at work just two weeks after giving birth. As a new mom who was afforded meaningful parental leave by my employer, I feel deeply that every parent deserves time to bond and care for their new baby without financial stress. ✨ #AffordableChildcare - A 2023 study by Ready Nation finds that the nation’s infant-toddler child care crisis now costs $122 billion in lost earnings, productivity, and revenue every year. This staggering economic toll impacts working parents, their employers, and the nation’s taxpayers. My personal experience searching for child care in order to return to a job that I love is what led to my involvement with the Chamber of Mothers. We need bipartisan solutions to provide safe, accessible, high-quality, well-compensated childcare for every child. ✨ #MaternalHealth - The United States has the worst rate of maternal mortality across developed nations. We need public and private sector solutions that reduce maternal mortality and bias in care. As we continue through election season, I'm proud to support the #VoteLikeAMother campaign—raising awareness on why voting for policies that support families and maternal rights is crucial. Huge thank you to the founding mothers who are leading us at the national level, especially Raena Boston (a former colleague and incredible advocate). And thank you to annie bacon for keeping us all organized as we launch chapters and unite mothers and advocates across the country. To my friends and colleagues around the country, if you're interested in getting involved, visit https://lnkd.in/gdpbJiyf to find or start your local chapter! Disclaimer: The opinions expressed here are my own, and not those of my employer.

For all my fellow/exhausted/overworked/ambitious/master planners-organizers/problem-solving/magic-making/loving/super Mamas, please join us for our second Chamber of Mothers meeting to discuss how community action is the key to achieving change. Help us advocate for better maternal health, paid leave and good (and affordable!) child care. We are tired and we deserve better!!! Register at the link below:

With no paid leave, childcare costs, and maternal mortality rates rising, American families are struggling. The only path forward is by working across political party lines. We're proudly supporting several pieces of bipartisan legislation that would address these crises and thank the U.S. Senators and Representatives who are reaching across the aisle to fight for a better future for mothers and families.
