Support We Are Not Invisible!

American democracy is about the power of voice. We know that for some people it’s harder to be heard. Such is the case for young mothers @ the margin, but we think it’s time for a change. The powerful voices of young women who have chosen to parent under difficult circumstances must ring in our nation’s capitol. Uniquely disadvantaged, surprisingly hopeful and resilient, we all have something to learn from them–our leaders are no exception.

Make it possible for young mothers @ the margin to go to Washington, DC, to meet with their Congressional representatives and make their needs and potential known. Your investment in their potential helps to ensure that they are visible and have the opportunity to make their needs and dreams heard. Move young mothers from the margin to the center. Give now!
