moms rising

Reporting belatedly on the Litquake event Oct. 14th -- it was wonderful, chiefly including sharing the virtual stage with such inspiring fellow writers. It was particularly great to meet oan Blades, a co-founder of one of my favorite groups, MoveOn.org, and author of The Motherhood Manifesto. She has recently formed a new group called MomsRising.Org, which definitely bears watching. One very encouraging sign: Blades told me she is seeking partnerships with many of the already-established pro-parenthood groups, like Mothers Ought to Have Equal Rights.
