THE MAMA LOBBY IS HERE

Join us to build the political power of moms and families.

WHAT ARE WE LOBBYING FOR?

Mama representation and truly family-friendly policy-making.

We're here for the mamas who want to practice civic self care. We’re here for the mamas who are parenting in a time when our rights are on the line. We’re here for the mamas who are fed up and who want to take action. We're here because we imagine a country with more mamas in charge.

COMMUNITY

A community to find like-minded mamas online and IRL (in real life).

WHY MAMAS?

When we elect moms, we pass policies that support women, kids, and families.

Moms are the largest voting bloc in the country, but they aren't empowered. We’re missing a critical voice at the decision-making table. Moms know the challenges that women, kids, and working families face at a visceral level but too often are unheard because they are systemically kept out of the conversation, out of office, and out of power.
