Have Your Cake and Eat It Too
š A Message from Lorri/ lorraine :
A strong sisterhood of women aware of their inner maternal truths is the tool that will change the world . I have worked for some forty years on building a maternal force .The woman/motherās voice can influence the evolution of humanity. It
must and it does . Letās build it globally Think Melinda French Gates. She still gets it . Read her book, The Moment of Lift.

Moms Deserve It All: Paid Leave, Affordable Childcare, and Maternal Health
All moms deserve a nap...
They deserve to drink their coffee while it's still hot...
They deserve a night off from cooking...
They deserve to actuallyĀ relax on Mother's Day...
They deserve to have their cake and eat it too...
Moms deserve to have it all: and that includes access to paid family leave, maternal health, and quality affordable childcare.
š£Ā This Mother's Day, we are calling on you to show up as a champion for motherās rights by making a generous donation that will move American Mothers one step closer to what they truly deserve.
Here in the US, one in four women will return to work within two weeks of giving birth - often still bleeding, swollen, sleep deprived and barely functioning š.
The value of unpaid care work is more than $625 billion for women each year - more than 2X that of men š”.
But it doesnāt have to be this way.
At Chamber of Mothers, we believe that moms can have their cake and eat it too, but more importantly - that we deserve it.
Moms deserve to be paid equally to their male counterparts and enjoy paid time off to care for their child who has caught the latest bug going around school.
Moms deserve to show up for her family and show up for herself.
Moms deserve to rest.
This Motherās Day, you have the power to move 85 million mothers across the US one step closer to accessing paid family leave, maternal health and affordable childcare for us all.Ā
This work is too big to do alone. Thatās why we're so grateful to announce that when you make a gift today, 100% of your contribution will make 2X the impact up to $30,000 thanks to our partners at Baked by MelissaĀ š§Ā . Talk about having your (cup)cake and eating it too!
