From “I can’t change the world. I’m just a mom” to “I can change the world because I’m a mom!'
Cynthia Levin is the author of “From Changing Diapers to Changing the World: Why Moms Make Great Advocates and How to Get Started.” A non-partisan activist working across a variety of issues, she coaches volunteers of all ages to build productive relationships with members of Congress.
In our conversation she laid a realistic roadmap for the average mom to get involved where it matters most to her; starting small and leveling up in small amounts of discomfort.
She summed up our conversation with a really powerful quote I’ll be thinking about for years to come.
