Vote Mama Foundation, a non-profit working toward gender equity by breaking down the structural and cultural barriers mothers face while running for office, has launched an aggressive campaign to enact the use of Campaign Funds for Childcare for state and local elections in all 50 states by 2023.

You will learn about:
- Liuba's journey leading to the start of this campaign
- Why this matters to communities across the nation
- Challenges in getting it passed
