Building on insights from our Pulse Check 2025 on Children’s Mental Health—to be released at the end of September—this walk recognizes the unique power mothers hold. Mothers have a specific lived experience raising children, an inherent understanding of what works in their families and communities, and a vital perspective on how policies affect families nationwide.
If you’re a mother, join the October Walk to show solidarity with moms across the U.S. Walk a loop in your neighborhood with friends, share it on your social networks, and amplify the message: When mothers thrive, we all thrive.

Count on Mothers (CoM) is a national research and insights organization built to elevate the firsthand experiences, needs, and views of U.S. mothers—across all backgrounds, political ideologies, and regions.
We conduct nationally representative surveys and qualitative research that bring forward the real, daily realities of raising children and thriving families in America today.
Count on Mothers data and reports have made a meaningful impact at the highest levels of government. Our findings have been requested by U.S. Senators and Representatives for submission into the Congressional Record and have been cited in official Congressional one-pagers and public statements. They’ve been included in the official record for key federal hearings, including the January 2024 Senate Hearing on Big Tech & Child Online Safety (in support of KOSA), the July 2024 Senate Finance Hearing on the State of Childcare, and the October 2023 Senate Finance Hearing on Paid Leave and Workforce Participation. Our insights inform policymakers and industry leaders, NGOs and grassroots advocacy groups, alike. Partner with us!
Unlike traditional polling firms or media outlets, Count on Mothers (CoM) represents and works on behalf of mothers—spanning political beliefs, geographic regions, and education levels. Through a combination of nationwide surveys and in-depth focus groups, CoM captures both quantitative and qualitative insights that reflect the real experiences and priorities of mothers today. This real-time data is then translated into public reports and social-ready storytelling content designed to inform and shape mission-aligned areas in health, safety, and financial well-being.
Count on Mothers is a data-driven legislative advocacy tool for mothers with the purpose of surveying mothers’ first-hand knowledge and using that information to impact policies that directly affect the well-being of families.
When a bill that could affect children or families is introduced to the House or Senate, Count on Mothers runs a survey to capture data that will help legislators understand how the legislation could impact American families.
Count on Mothers will provide a quick and easy tool for real-time data during a time-sensitive legislative process.
Our voice is stronger together.
"A mother’s voice speaks not only for herself, but for our future. Count On Mothers understands that. And it's why I was so thrilled to jump in and help grow the voices of mothers where we need them most."
"Data is power. I love the idea of the power of mothers. Imagine 90%+ of mothers stating that they know more than 1 child who died by suicide in the last year. Imagine the clarity that legislators cannot ignore if nonpartisan data shows X% of mothers state Y."
"Mothers are an incredibly passionate and dedicated group. Individually we make a difference in the lives around us every day. Collectively, if we raise our voices, we can make a difference on a national level. Count on Mothers harnesses this potential."
We are researchers, storytellers, and technologists focused on one purpose: putting real‑time, firsthand data from mothers into the conversations where consequential decisions are made. Through an ongoing program of nationally representative studies, we capture what families are experiencing right now and translate those findings into clear, actionable briefs for newsrooms, lawmakers, and industry leaders. When mothers’ voices are in the room, policies, products, and practices align more closely—and safely—with what families actually need. Our collective voice is powerful—add yours.
