Don’t Mess With Moms: The Grassroots Movement That Stopped a Bill

from One Quick Thing: A Podcast for People Who Care a Lot

Join Emily and Marissa as they interview MacKenzie Nicholson, or Kenz, a mom, advocate, and all-around powerhouse for families in New Hampshire. By day, she’s the Senior Director of MomsRising NH, leading grassroots efforts to fight for better child care, maternal health, and policies that actually support families like ours. But beyond that, she’s a regular degular mom navigating all the chaos that comes with it—using TikTok to break down policy in ways that make sense, organizing on-the-ground movements, and making sure lawmakers don’t forget the voices of everyday parents. Kenz shares the importance of getting involved in the legislative process, the Momnibus 2.0 bill, and self care.
