TodaysMama.com and MamaVote Project


TodaysMama, founded in 2004, was created as an avenue to inspire and inform empowerment, connection, and a sense of identity for mothers and others.

TodaysMama CEO Rachel Herrscher, a young mother of two, launched the Mamavote Project. More moms than ever are getting involved in politics this year. The MamaVote Project is a non-partisan initiative encouraging more moms to get involved and to make informed and responsible decisions for our communities and country.

Mamavote offers educational resources about the significant role women play in the political process, from local school boards to the federal level.

TodaysMama.com began its "A Conversation With..." interview series in March 2008. This series of interviews with influential women in politics opened with Diane Feinstein's discussion of the changing roles of women in politics.

Feinstein's career began with an atmosphere of "women need not apply," but she became both the first female mayor of San Francisco and the first female Senator from California.

Feinstein encourages mother -- in fact, all women -- to "become really knowledgeable about an issue" and to volunteer for candidates and issues that you're passionate about.
