Current events got you down? Come join us 1/31 to raise money for Democracy Forward, practice radical joy, and connect with other busy moms who want to make a difference. Even if you can't make the event, consider donating to the event or directly to the benefiting organizations.

Miss dancing, but staying out until 2 just isn’t a thing for you anymore? We’ve got you! Join us for a dance party at a reasonable hour. And for a good cause!

Please spread the word!

The night was planned with tired moms in mind, but anyone is welcome to join.

The "Big, Beautiful Bill" is up for a vote in the Senate this week and then will have to go back to the House. It is critical to call/text/mail your representatives DAILY. Call family and friends and urge them to do the same.
