Mother’s Day of Action | 5.8.13

BECAUSE FLOWERS AREN’T ENOUGH.

Join us in Salem on May 8th to talk with our state legislators about modernizing the public policies that affect Oregon mothers every day.  

You know they’re broken, we have solutions, and they need to hear both!

Parents know that there are too many broken workplace and public policies in this country that make it hard to be a good employee and a responsible provider and caregiver for our families. We know because we live it every day.

But if it’s ever going to be better, we need to speak up about the fixes we know need to happen – so our decision makers understand, too.

The way we see it, the solutions are known, but the will to put them into place needs a serious nudge!

From us.

From you.

From every Oregon parent and caregiver who suffers under our country’s outdated work & family policies that haven’t kept pace with the reality of today’s families.

And what better reason than Mother’s Day to share our experiences and policy solutions with our state representatives?

Join us for a MOTHER’S DAY LOBBY DAY on the morning of Wednesday, May 8th to tell our state legislators what all of us already know: we need better workplace and public policies that support our hard work to provide and care for our families – young and old – while being good employees, too.
