#MomTheVote is a social media campaign to inspire and energize every mom in the U.S. to use the power of her vote to make a difference in her life, her family’s life, her community, and the world her children will grow up in.
Every mom wants the best for herself and for her family
Throughout this election season, the What to Expect Project will use the hashtag #MomTheVote to inspire and energize every mom to use the power of her voice to make a difference. We’ll break down issues and policies that impact the health, safety, security and economic wellbeing of you and your kids — now, and in the future — including health care, child care and paid family leave.
- MOTHERHOOD IS THE ULTIMATE SISTERHOOD
- #MomTheVote is about encouraging our fellow moms to vote
- not telling them who to vote for (or against)
How do we help make this goal a reality?
-
Enable
To empower you to speak up on issues and vote for candidates who vote for you and your family.
-
Centralize
To focus on positive change instead of negative partisanship.
-
Streamline
Make voting as easy and accessible as possible.
-
Clarify
To clear up confusion and sort out facts.
Knowledge is power. Voting is power. Having the knowledge to make informed voting decisions is more powerful still.
Heidi Murkoff, Founder
Hope through action. Hope through advocacy. Hope through the vote.
Throughout this election season and beyond, join us in using the hashtag #MomTheVote to spread the word about the importance of voting — because the power of your vote can make your life happier, healthier, less stressful and more secure.

Today’s the last day to register to vote in Pennsylvania! Yesterday, I shared why it’s so important to engage in the election at the MomsVote skating and pizza party, in partnership with MomsRising and SingleMomDefined. #MomTheVote
We brought together 41 of our powerful moms from across 25 states to join us for our #MomPowerBootcamp2024 event! We brought together moms, advocates, Fellows, Fellow Alumni, and other engaged volunteers interested in leadership development and advocacy opportunities, including holding our elected officials accountable this election year to fight for issues that impact families with young children, like early childhood education and child care!
This momentum-building meet-up also included our Toddlers’ Choice Awards to celebrate child care champions and to highlight the real stories of moms and the critical need for investments in care policies for families! When moms come together to fight for families, we are powerful! #MomPower2024 #MomTheVote #SolveChildCare
