Let's Get Serious Now

Hey gang, there's a new activist organization for moms: Moms Rising. It looks pretty cool.

Their manifesto does cool things with acronyms:

M - Maternity and paternity leave
O - Open flexible leave
T - TV & after-school programs
H - Healthcare for all kids
E - Excellent childcare
R - Realistic and fair wages

They have lots of cool organizations signed up to work with them.

Their book is in the 40s at Amazon which is very cool.

Go check it out! And blog about it, so more people know! Come on, please please let me for the first time ever be the originator of a blog stampede (a cool kind of stampede, of course). (Though really the originator would be Libby, since I found out about it from her, but if you link back to me, the origin will be made clear.)

Thanks for posting this. I just got an email that these two women will be hosting an event this Thursday in Seattle, yay! I'll let you know how it goes. And if you have any other Seattle-area readers, they should go!
