How the Vote Mama Foundation is Helping Parents Running for Office

Vote Mama Foundation, a non-profit working toward gender equity by breaking down the structural and cultural barriers mothers face while running for office, has launched an aggressive campaign to enact the use of Campaign Funds for Childcare for state and local elections in all 50 states by 2023.
