The state of California announced a first in the nation program providing free diapers for new parents.
The plan called the Golden State start will give 400 diapers to parents for every newborn.
The program is set to begin this summer and will first serve lowincome parents.
The initiative will then expand to more hospitals and families statewide.
That's certainly some good news just in time for Mother's Day this Sunday.
And also this Sunday, a day I hope many of us will spend surrounded by love, flowers, cards, and family time.
Our next guest wants us to ask ourselves a more difficult question after all the celebrating is done.
What does America really do for its mothers?
Rashma Sajani, a lawyer, activist, and the founder and CEO of Mom's First, is the subject of a new documentary called No Country for Mothers.
In the film, she explores what she calls America's failure to support moms and families and sheds a light on the challenges mothers are facing across the country.
Take a look.
What if you had a society where all your income didn't pay for childare?
What if we had a society that didn't penalize you for being a mom?
Motherhood in America is impossible by design.
It's a feature, not a bug,
>> right? Why is school pickup at 3:30 and the workday end at 6?
You know, why do we spend more for our child care than our mortgage?
Why do we have to go back to work 2 weeks after having a baby?
And we tell moms that you are broken, but you are not broken.
The system is broken and we're way too divided to fix it.
And that's what I want to change.
>> Yeah. So many good questions. What would it take to have fully funded child care and universal paid family leave?
What is it? What will it take for that to become reality in America?
And what's standing in the way?
>> Well, I think what's standing in the way is the culture wars.
Every time mothers make progress, you know, we're given a culture war.
Right now, it's traders girl boss.
And I've traveled across the country and I have yet to meet somebody who wants to spend their time milking a cow or hustle so hard they don't see their kids.
Like, most American moms can't afford to be a trad wife or girl boss.
They're just trying to make it through the week without their kid getting sick or their car breaking down.
And so the reason why these culture wars are so effective is it distracts us and we spend all of our time trying to defend our choices in the comment section and Instagram rather than fighting for paid leave and childare.
So how do we get there? We come together.
We get unified.
We stop being divided by these distractions that we're given and we finish the fight.
I think we're so close on child care.
We're so close I can taste
