Not to brag, but I had the BEST @momsdemandaction.org Missouri lobby group bc we had kids. I love making room for the presence of kids in lobby meetings! They keep everyone on their best behavior…even members of Congress who oppose them! @everytown.org #MomsAreEverywhere #AdvocacyMadeEasy #MomPower

News is so bad that a mom can get easily overwhelmed even if she WANTS to advocate. Where to start? I talked w Landy Peek abt how to take first & next steps in advocacy. Even taking small first steps can inspire us to do more & there are lots of orgs to help us! #AdvocacyMadeEasy #MomPower

Senate is still debating the Save Act to make it harder to vote by requiring a passport for citizens who had a name change. Call your senators today and every day to tell them to oppose it (go to 5calls.org if you don’t know how) ! #AdvocacyMadeEasy #SaveActIsPayToVote #MomPower @momsrising.org

Call your senators to say “NO” to the Save Act. It would lock citizens out of voting if name doesn’t match the birth certificate name unless they have a passport which is $$&time consuming to get. It targets married women & trans folx #SaveActIsPayToVote #AdvocacyMadeEasy #MomPower @momsrising.org

Congress MUST Stop Financing Harm: Invest in Families, Not Cruelty Sign onto our letter urging Congress to NOT pass any bill that gives more money to DHS and to put in place strong accountability measures to rein in ICE.

Tell the Senate: Not a penny more for ICE brutality | Indivisible

Senate may vote on DHS funding tomorrow. If you haven't made calls yet today, get it done now. If ICE gets funded w/o limitations, it's too late to make your calls after the vote. Call your senators DC offices and in-state offices. Tomorrow may be too late. #MomSky #AdvocacyMadeEasy #MomPower

Sometimes it's hard to know what to do in the world, but this kind of infectious disease data makes it very clear. I'm a trained immunization advocate doing that specialized work for 13 yrs. No sense in shutting up about it now! #VaccinesWork #MomSky #AdvocacyMadeEasy

Horrific. This is one of the many reasons I’m headed to D.C. next month with Shot@Life to advocate for global immunizations #MomSky #MomPower #AdvocacyMadeEasy

Bringing me hope today: Influencers NOT in the activism space speaking up w advocacy actions
- Disney food/entertainment influencers
- Mom influencers
- YA author
- South Shore Ghostbusters (my fave)
I know who I'm gonna call if there's somethin' weird in neighborhood. #MomSky #AdvocacyMadeEasy

Text saying "The most important thing you can do is stay hopeful and engaged. Governments use violent force to intimidate us for one reason: to convince us there is no hope for success."

From my blog about why we must keep sharing stories so people can see the whole truth that isn't visible from their perspective. We need to keep looking for what we don't see. Listen to the oppressed and amplify their voices. And...stay hopeful and engaged. #MomSky #MomPower #AdvocacyMadeEasy

Can Joy Make Us Better Activists? Remember the 2024 Democratic convention when Kamala Harris and Tim Walz brought joy to the front of their campaign message?

Reading news&watching friends on social media prepare for ICE is depressing, especially when isolating w COVID 1 room. Rereading my own post about joy to give me the spark to start doing the activism I can do from this room! ccylevin.substack.com/p/can-joy-ma... #MomSky #AdvocacyMadeEasy #MomPower
