With Mother's Day this weekend, it's a great time to recognize MomsRising, a national organization that is mobilizing moms throughout the country. 

Started in 2006 by Kirkland mom Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner and Joan Blades, co-founder of MoveOn.org, MomsRising is now one million members strong and a force to be reckoned with in state capitals nationwide and in Washington D.C. as its members fight for healthcare for all children, paid family leave, quality childcare and fair wages.

Rowe-Finkbeiner shares how moms can make sure their families are represented in government.

Learning for Life airs every Wednesday on KING 5 Morning News on KONG 6/16 TV between 8:15 and 8:30 a.m.
