ParentsTogether Storytelling Cohorts

Fighting for Economic Security for Families

ParentsTogether has grown and supported a powerful groundswell of parents determined
to create change by shifting the conversation about what is possible for families and
building support for the policy solutions that would change the game for American
families. Parents across the country have come together to achieve wins for families such
as the Summer EBT program which helps families keep food on the table when school is
out, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, and the PUMP Act.

At the heart of this work are everyday parents who give it their all every single day to give
their children the best life possible. The parents featured below have stories that
are all too common across the United States — and illustrate how vital it is that our
leaders actually offer support and relief to millions of families struggling to get by. Their
voices are powerful, as is their resolve to fight for economic policies to help all children thrive.
