  • Fun! Appointment podcast listening!

    This podcast is "appointment listening" for me during weekend nap times. I listen and cook or do the dishes and learn a LOT. I really love the personal approach - it feels like a lot of these conversations are happening at my kitchen table. I loved hearing the relationship advice and about paid sick days. I didn't realize so few people had access to paid sick days! I aso really enjoy the music! Keep it coming, MomsRising!

  • For engaged, thinking moms, daughters, grandmas… all smart women

    This new series is absolutely fantastic. Each segment is like an in-depth tutorial on issues that directly shape the lives of women, which I can listen to on my mobile as I go about my day. And the speakers are like the circle of friends I always wanted - warm, smart women who get me and my life, and are passionate about the same things I am.

  • A Radio Program That Speaks To Me

    What a breath of fresh air to tune in to a radio program, in which the guests aren't yelling at each other and the issues speak directly to me and my family. I enjoy MomsRising Radio because it has a good mix of policy experts and regular moms that speak to the issues I care about and have an impact on me as a mom: affordable and accessible childcare, health care, flextime in the workplace, birth control and paid sick days.

    Please keep the segments coming!

  • Great to hear from moms!

    I love listening to this program because it's so rare to hear from women in the media and this show is full of mom experts, activists, and political leaders. And it's so great to hear about issues that are so close to my life as a mom.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Early Voting and Civil Liberties; Protecting Our Elections and Democracy; Safeguarding Voter Registration Rolls; Moms Mobilize to Vote
Q: Can you explain what's happening? What does that mean? And should anybody be worried about anything right now related to that?
Rebekah Caruthers says the federal government is using a database not designed to determine voter eligibility. Matching errors could lead to eligible voters being removed from registration lists, and she says there is no reliable process for those voters to challenge erroneous removals.
Early Voting and Civil Liberties; Protecting Our Elections and Democracy; Safeguarding Voter Registration Rolls; Moms Mobilize to Vote
Q: With early voting underway, voters are facing an existential decision for the future of civil liberties in their states. What is happening? Why are the states becoming the front line for protecting rights and which down ballot offices have a largest impact on our civil liberties?
Deirdre Schifeling says state legislatures, state Supreme Courts and secretaries of state have major influence over civil liberties, elections and the interpretation of state constitutions. She urges voters to pay attention to down-ballot races.

Q: What are one or two of the most impactful policy levers, either at the state or federal level, that everyone should be pushing to move us closer to making a country where everyone can thrive?
Laura Valle-Gutierrez urges people to share their caregiving experiences with elected officials and says local, state, and federal governments all need to prioritize care. She points to paid leave and investments in child care as policies that can support families and workers.

Q: What is driving the increase in voter attention in these midterm elections, and what is the Working Families Party doing?
Maurice Mitchell attributes voter concern to rising costs, corporate and political corruption, and policies that increase household expenses. He says the Working Families Party is recruiting candidates and promoting a guarantee of affordable housing, child care and health care, good union jobs, paid family leave, and taxes on the ultrawealthy.

Q: What should people do to rise up and protect health care access right now?
People should vote, support public-health organizations, engage with local health departments, and participate in a town hall to ask questions and learn more about how to advocate for health-care protections.
