Dads for All

At 11am ET today, we're excited to join an esteemed panel to explore the next steps towards child care wins in America! Register here: buff.ly/juHgVMK

As we celebrate big wins for child care in NMex, NY & SF, the call for universal, durable solutions remains unanswered.

2026: The Year of the GOAT Dad No Dad has to choose between Uncle Phil and Danny Tanner, or Tywin Lannister and Logan Roy.

Movie dads choose between career and kids. In 2026, let's reject the binary. New essay on rewriting the rules of #fatherhood: buff.ly/q7OYDv7

What happens when dads actually get together?

100% surveyed say they feel more connected.
100% want to improve their community.

Read about our work in Philly that's turning random dads into a community (and what it means for the future):

What do you get when you combine Broad Street #baseball and banter with a bunch of dads who care about their community?

New friendships — and the start of work that makes Philly a better place to raise kids.

We've got a couple tix left for #Phillies vs. #Nationals: buff.ly/H0sZp5s

Come for the baseball. Leave with new dad friends and a few ideas for how to make a difference back home. ⚾

The goal? Get dads together — in real life — to build real relationships, to not feel like strangers in our own dugout.

Because when dads connect, we find ways to step up for each other, our kids, and our communities.

On 8/22, we’re taking a crew of Philly dads to watch the #Phillies take on the Nationals. This isn’t just an excuse to eat a hot dog the size of your forearm… but it’s not not that either. 🌭 🧵

83% of fams are stressed about the price of #groceries.

Why does feeding our families require financial strategy?

Skipping deli and butcher again this week & out of touch politicians think the solution is more cereal. Thanks, bro.

Anyone else see the problem here?

That's...
Our kid's soccer cleats
A surprise car repair
Urgent care (kids have ZERO timing)
One Target run with your spouse

Half of us are one minor disaster from credit card hell.
But sure, it's the avocado toast. 🙄

Tag a dad who gets it.

48% of Americans can't cover a $500 emergency without debt.

$500. Not $5K. FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. 🧵

3 hours stolen from:
Bedtime stories
Playing catch
Actually being present
Teaching life skills that aren't "advanced budgeting"

When survival steals more time than naps, the system's broken. Drop a 💯 if this hits home

3 HOURS daily. That's how long 1 in 4 Americans spend worrying about money.

Cool, so instead of helping with homework, we're calculating if we can afford groceries AND rent. 🧵

You’ve just grilled your last summer hot dog — and now the school supply list is busting your buns.

📚 39% of parents say they can’t afford school shopping.
💳 44% are going into debt just to get the basics.

"One of my favorite levers – aka antidotes versus the old normal – is #storytelling. That is how we can flip disengagement into empowerment, for any generation." -- our own Mohan Sivaloganathan as quoted in research about #connection from #NationSwell.

Read the recap of the series ⬇️

Yes, it’s a hot night in July.
Yes, the subway smells like regret & BO.

But hear us out:
✅ Air conditioning
✅ Maybe wine
✅ A real convo about dads, families, care, and what comes next

🗓 Friday, July 18 | 🕖 7PM
📍 P&T Knitwear, NYC
🎟 RSVP → buff.ly/P8KO6e4

Tag a dad who…
➡️ Works nonstop but still feels like he’s falling short
➡️ Wants more time with his kids
➡️ Feels pressure to “provide” with no support

This Friday we’re talking real solutions for real families.
📍 NYC | 🕖 7PM | 🎟 lu.ma/ow2eltpq

We've never co-designed or co-hosted an event like this before.
And yet — we’d do it every month if we could.

You know what? Maybe we will. Watch this space.
We’re just getting started. 🛠️

#BigDadEnergy

The question we left with:
What if providing and protecting isn’t just about your own household?

What if it means showing up for other dads, too?
As allies. As listeners. As builders of something bigger.

We weren’t there to lecture anyone. No whiteboards, no “10 steps to better parenting.”

We were there to create space.
For connection.
For honesty.
For new energy around what it means to be a dad in 2025.

We hosted our first-ever Dad-Athlon — darts, pool, Mario Kart — but the games were just the excuse.

What really happened?
Dads sharing stories. Bridging generations. Finding common ground. Getting real.

What if everything you know about today's men is all wrong?

What if they're actually joyful, loving, deeply engaged, and hungry to be a part of positive change?

We see it every time we gather with other dads.

Like we did last weekend in Philly. 🧵

Moms are fighting to make care work visible and supported.
Dads are pushing back on a culture that says their worth is only in a paycheck.
Both are asking for systems that let families live — not just survive. 🧵
