Mothering Justice

Friday, May 11, 2012

Mothering Justice leader Danielle Atkinson and State Representative Vicki Barnett join Craig to discuss the aims of the organization and unveil what Mom's really want for Mother's Day. Their priorities are: -An Increase to the Minimum Wage -Wage Theft -Making Childcare More Affordable -Access to Earned Paid Sick Days -Access to Family Medical Leave Insurance

Mothering Justice is calling on the legislature to support these issues, and co-host mama conversations with Mothering Justice in their districts as well as a kick off "My Vote is My Families Voice Voter Engagement Campaign" which is a campaign about raising these issues in the upcoming election.
