Momsrising Education Fund

Overview

Mission

Momsrising education fund educates and engages people about the importance of advancing family economic security and ending discrimination in the united states.

We work on policies that advance economic security for women and families - including fair pay, paid family/medical leave, healthcare, early learning, access to healthy food and fair treatment of immigrant families. Ending mass incarceration, police brutality and structural racism in the criminal justice system are also key priorities in addition to advancing economic security for families. We conduct our activities on a national and state level.
