Washington D.C. is loaded with groups and affiliations - the NRA, the AARP, but who is representing and fighting for the moms? Erin Erenberg and Raena Boston banded together to create the Chamber of Mothers in 2021 to unify women across the country and advocate for paid leave and basic rights. I sat down with them for an eye-opening and important conversation about the lack of support for American mothers, the things we desperately need to change, and the amazing work they are doing to spread the word and get everyone involved. Hope this inspires you as much as it did for me!
