There’s a lot we don’t agree on in this country. But one issue that gets overwhelming support among voters is the need to support moms and families in this country, from paid family leave, to affordable childcare and improved maternal health. 

Those issues shouldn't be a luxury. They should be a necessity, if we want to support families and grow our economy. 

I’m talking to Erin Erenberg, the co-founder of Chamber of Mothers, a non-partisan organization that is doing the work on those very issues in Washington, D.C.

Erin shares why she’s optimistic about these issues, plus how we can get involved in changing the game for moms and families. 

Also, hear why we shouldn’t have to choose between kids and career in this country.
