A Democratic political action committee is attempting to strengthen the political power of liberal mothers and zeroing in on culture war issues like guns, LGBT issues and abortion.

Vote Mama PAC endorses and funds Democratic candidates for office and sets up prospective candidates with mentors, according to its website, recently starting the “Vote Mama Lobby” to get mothers more engaged in politics. The group focuses heavily on social issues: various social media posts and statements on its website are supportive of gay and transgender children and argue that Christian leaders need to support same-sex marriage and other pro-LGBT positions.

While conservatives have long been associated with family values, the PAC is attempting to change that perception, a spokeswoman told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

WATCH:

“The Conservative movement has long operated under the guise of ‘family values,'” she said. “But the reality is by refusing to enact paid family leave and affordable childcare, voting against solving the formula shortage, and now introducing a national ban on abortion – they have shown nothing but contempt for women, children, and families.”

The organization started an advocacy group called “Vote Mama Lobby” to support more than 150 candidates across 31 states in races ranging from local school boards to the U.S. Senate, according to Axios. In addition to numerous Instagram posts supporting child gender transitions and calling for empowerment of gay and transgender children, the group also emphasizes abortion, arguing that abortion restrictions limit the rights of their daughters.

Mothers and the political groups they run have gained national notoriety in the past year, with the conservative group Moms for Liberty promoting parental rights in education, drawing attention to sexualized content in schools and getting involved in local school board races. A Vote Mama spokeswoman denied that they drew inspiration from Moms for Liberty, noting that their group was launched in 2019, before the rise of Moms for Liberty.

“Childcare that costs more than college, a gun violence epidemic, attacks on our reproductive rights, and even a baby formula shortage. American moms are not okay,” she told the DCNF. “Vote Mama Lobby is here for those fed-up moms. Moms who are fed-up with our children being targeted in schools – both by guns and by oppressive groups like Moms for Liberty who are pushing dangerous policies that threaten our children’s autonomy and very right to exist as they are. We are here for moms who are fed-up with our reproductive rights hanging in the balance and our daughters growing up with less autonomy than our sons.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
