We’re committed to the kind of work that drives meaningful progress for families across the country. Our local chapters have addressed zoning laws for child care centers, testified in support of maternal health legislation, organized thousands of donated diapers, helped voters navigate local elections, and contributed to the passage of laws that matter to moms.

At the national level, Chamber of Mothers regularly holds bipartisan congressional meetings and has critical relationships across the policy and advocacy ecosystem. We are a valued partner to lawmakers and federal agencies and a trusted resource for mothers nationwide.
