Chamber of Mothers
On the 2021 night that paid leave was cut from the legislative agenda, a 501c(3) non-profit was founded by and for moms. Chamber of Mothers is modeled after some of the biggest coalitions in the U.S. including the Chamber of Commerce and AARP.
With a reach of over 4 million monthly, Chamber of Mothers expertly champions the work of existing advocacy groups; educates mothers about the personal impact of politics; and encourages women to use their voices, dollars, and power to hold lawmakers accountable for the nexus of failed or nonexistent support systems for mothers.
Through grassroots movements, local chapters, strategic communication, and community-building, Chamber of Mothers unites mothers as advocates to create the country we want to live in and bestow upon future generations.
Chamber of Mothers is an all-volunteer effort, built and run while operating businesses, feeding babies, folding laundry, and doing the carework that fuels the U.S. economy.
Founder, Erin Erenberg, has been featured on our blog before! You can read those previous interviews here and here.

They have supported each other in their individual births and have a deep sisterhood rooted in love for each other and the clients they serve together. Kimberly welcomed her 6th and last baby in 2011, Allegra was there when Kimberly became a grandmother in 2012, Kimberly was there when Allegra became a mother in 2015.

Every Mother Counts
All people should have access to quality, respectful, and equitable maternity care. Founded by Christy Turlington Burns in 2010, following the release of her documentary film, No Woman, No Cry, Every Mother Counts is on a mission to raise awareness about the maternal health crisis, investing in community-based solutions, and mobilizing for policy change.
After experiencing her own childbirth complication, Christy learned that hundreds of thousands of women were dying every year because they do not have access to the maternity care that they need. She then dedicated her work to understanding the challenges of and opportunities for improving access to maternity care around the world.
