Get involved

Two ways in. Pick the one that fits.

There are exactly two doors here. If you’re a parent living this, you organize with us — start small and climb. If you’ve got a network, a room, or a checkbook, you amplify what we do. Either one moves this.

№ 01 / For parents

Start wherever you are. The first rung takes a minute.

Nobody starts by running a campaign. You sign one thing, you come to one thing, and one day you’re the person other parents follow. Here’s the climb.

  1. 01Sign a petition

    Put your name where they’ll see it.

    Two minutes. Your name goes on the list we hand to the people who vote on this — and ticking the “I’ll help organize” box is how most of our leaders first got in the door.

  2. 02Join a meeting

    Come see how it actually works.

    Monthly strategy calls and neighborhood meetings, with virtual and odd-hours options so a night shift isn’t the reason you can’t come. Bring your kid — there’s a kid corner.

  3. 03Become a member

    Make it official.

    Membership is how we count ourselves to legislators — 12,000 parents and climbing. Dues are $25 a month, or free if that’s not doable right now. Nobody is turned away for money.

  4. 04Volunteer or lead

    Run a piece of this yourself.

    Table at a street fair, run a petition drive on your block, or lead your neighborhood team. We train you and hand you everything you need. This is where organizers come from.

Rung 2, up close

What’s coming up.

We pay for child care at every in-person event, so your schedule isn’t the reason you can’t come.

№ 02 / For allies & partners

Not in the thick of it? Do more than give.

Grandparents, neighbors, business owners, anyone whose own kids are grown — this fight needs you too. Write a check, sure. But you can move a lot more than money.

Host

Throw a house party

A living room, a happy hour, a backyard barbecue. You bring the people; we bring the talking points, the sign-up sheet, and someone to speak.

Multiply

Start a giving circle

Get five or ten friends to give monthly together. A circle raises more than any single check — and pulls a whole network into the work.

Start a circle →

Match

Double what your network gives

Match your friends’ gifts dollar-for-dollar, or get your employer to match yours. We’ll build the page and handle the paperwork.

Set up a match →

Connect

Open a door

A reporter, a funder, a council member, a room of parents who don’t know us yet. One introduction from you goes further than a cold email from us.
