Of all the projects we’ve worked on at @MomsFirstUS this year, this is the one I am most proud of. Today, we are officially rolling out , a first-of-its-kind tool to help families understand what paid leave they qualify for, and how to get it.

I woke up this morning to a news alert that our @GirlsWhoCode middle-grade book series was banned by some school districts as part of the Mom for Liberty effort to ban books. To be honest, I am so angry I cannot breathe.

Overturning Roe has never been about women or kids — but about controlling our lives and our bodies. If they really cared about us and our kids, they would make it *easier* to access abortion care. We would have paid leave, universal healthcare, and affordable child care.
