Tell those in power that we aren\u2019t going to let extremists, billionaires, and corruption take away our democratic rights and economic livelihoods. Or put our children at risk by destroying our international relationships and security \u2013 starting devastating, foolish trade wars, and threatening military aggression against our closest allies and sovereign nations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parents are good at this, because we have clarity. <\/h2>\n<p>Becoming a parent alters the human brain. We become acutely aware of the basic survival needs of our children. And for as long as we have been a species, the formula for helping our children survive and thrive has been the same.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We are stronger together. We need to have each other\u2019s backs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We need to listen to each other\u2019s pain, and find cooperative solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We need to build friendships and alliances. Not destroy them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We need intelligent plans to improve our economic future \u2013 plans that are well thought out, and based on accurate information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We need to defend rule of law, and each individual\u2019s right to due process. If we don\u2019t push back against illegal power-grabs and rights violations, we are all at risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>And we know that families can\u2019t succeed on their own.<\/strong> Throughout the long evolutionary history of humanity, <a href=\"https:\/\/parentingscience.com\/parents-need-help\/\">parents have always needed subsidies and support to ensure that their children survive and thrive.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even today \u2013 in a new poll conducted for Common Sense Media (March 2025) \u2013 a majority of U.S. parents (of all political affiliations) agreed that \u201cfamilies need more economic assistance from the government to get by in the early years of a child\u2019s life or when their children and teens are young adults.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet in this same poll, most parents said they didn\u2019t feel that their voices matter in decisions made by the government. Again, this was a result that applied across all political affiliations!<\/p>\n<p>And that must change now. Right now. Because our children\u2019s rights, safety, and future depend on it.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s do what our ancestors have always done, and band together. Reach out to each other. Stand up for each other and our families, and send the message loud and clear. Let April 5<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 and every other day \u2013 put the pressure on elected officials to do their jobs, and enforce democracy and rule of law.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reference \u2013 poll<\/h3>\n<p>Lake, C., Snell, A., Gormley, C., Vinyard, I., Gillett, M., Anderson, K.
