Description

Founder of Girls Who Code and author of the book Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work, Reshma Saujani joins Zerlina on the show to talk about her new campaign, the Marshall Plan for Moms! Reshma Saujani is a leading activist and the founder of Girls Who Code and the Marshall Plan for Moms. She has spent more than a decade building movements to fight for women and girls’ economic empowerment, working to close the gender gap in the tech sector, and most recently advocating for policies to support moms impacted by the pandemic.https://marshallplanformoms.com/Marshall Plan for Moms is calling attention to the burnout and exhaustion America's moms are facing in a new video that promises a “cure” for mom guilt.  But it’s not some magic pill; it’s affordable childcare, paid leave, and equal pay for moms. With a sense of humor and humility, the video is a spoof on a stereotypical pharmaceutical ad, highlighting the tell-tale symptoms of chronic mom guilt and even the likely side effects of the cure (think: joy, sleep, sex, and the pleasure of pooping private). America, it’s time to stand up …for moms.  After the last two years of parenting through the pandemic, the message this Mother’s Day is clear:  moms are exhausted and they need more help. Marshall Plan for Moms is a national movement led by Girls Who Code Founder, Reshma Saujani, to center women in our economic recovery and champion policies that support all moms to help them thrive and therefore help all of us thrive.  The organization’s mission is to create  the sweeping cultural change America needs to value women's unseen and unpaid work and rebuild our broken system to make it possible for women to work and have kids while remaining true to who they are and the lives they want to lead. Together, they are galvanizing moms across the country to finish the fight for women's equality once and for all.https://reshmasaujani.com/
