Ashley and Kimberly are honored to be a working with some incredible women from all walks of life: lawyers, writers, doctors, advocates, professional athletes, and more to create Chamber of Mothers. This brain child was originated by Daphne Devereaux (The Mamattorney) - The Chamber of Mothers is a collective movement to focus America's priorities on mothers’ rights.
Its purpose is the house all groups and people and talents that support women's (especially mothers') rights and who can continue to serve advocacy groups. Advocating for the issues you care about has never been more streamlined.
Our first goal is to secure federal paid family and medical leave.
Join us as we break down more about what Paid Family and Medical Leave could look like in the US and how you can support women's issues that are meaningful to you.
Why do we need a larger lobbying group for women? “Counting both the House of Representatives and the Senate, 144 of 539 seats – or 27% – are held by women. That represents a 50% increase from the 96 women who were serving in the 112th Congress a decade ago, though it remains far below the female share of the overall U.S. population. A record 120 women are serving in the newly elected House, accounting for 27% of the total. In the Senate, women hold 24 of 100 seats, one fewer than the record number of seats they held in the last Congress.”
