We hear it from our community members all the time. Whether it’s an election year or not, the economy is top of mind for suburban women.
Of course it is! In many households, it’s the women who are making the day-to-day financial decisions. We’re doing the weekly shopping and all the budgeting and planning that comes with it. We’re keeping track of who needs what and when. From groceries to back-to-school shopping to veterinary visits to unexpected car or home repairs to knowing when there’s a little left to treat ourselves — no one manages money like modern suburban women.
But we also have questions. We hear the economy is doing well, so why are everyday goods and services still so expensive? Why is it so hard to find affordable housing? When will we ever pay off these student loans? What even is inflation?!
That’s why Red Wine and Blue launched Momonomics! Mononomics is our movement of mainstream suburban women who want the facts on the economy, not some partisan talking points.
You don’t have to be a mom to love Momonomics. Some of us are moms to kids, some of us are moms to dogs, some of us are moms to our communities, some of us are “childless cat ladies,” and many of us don’t consider ourselves moms at all. This campaign is for EVERYONE who believes our government should work for all families — no matter what they look like.
We’re providing tools and shareable content to help women confidently talk about things like inflation, childcare costs, rising housing costs, student loan debt, medical expenses, caring for our aging parents, and more.
For example, check out this carousel where we’re providing FACTS to counter some common economic myths that frequently circulate online. You can bookmark our Momonomics webpage for more content like this in the future, and stay tuned for next week’s Easy A to learn more!
