Hey Reader,

Summer is officially kicking off, and for so many moms, the financial and mental load is already peaking. If you're already stressed trying to balance work with the soaring costs of summer child care, please hear me: this is not a personal failure.

Last year alone, nearly 500,000 women left the U.S. workforce—largely driven out by skyrocketing care costs. The U.S. remains the only developed country without guaranteed paid family leave, treating child care like an individual financial hurdle rather than an economic imperative. (If affordable child care for anyone who needs it seems like an impossible dream . . . did you know that America mothers used to have Universal Child Care?)

This is not something we can fix individually. We need to rally as a community. (And if your kids are already grown, this is a beautiful opportunity to create a better world for future mothers!)

This month, the non-profit Moms First is premiering a historic new documentary, No Country for Mothers (Watch Documentary Trailer Here). It blows the lid off the systemic financial challenges mothers carry and charts a path toward real change.

Rather than standard streaming, the filmmakers are releasing it through group gatherings.

Why? Because this film is meant to spark community action.

Motherhood is a HUGE contribution to society. It shouldn't be a financial sacrifice.

If you're ready to stop just surviving a broken system and start changing it, this is our moment!
