Dads for All

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. 🧵

"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. 🧵

Forget "Brotherly." Philly’s the City of Fatherly Love.

Ask Frank Reynolds. A deeply flawed father figure. But always showed up. Usually with eggs… in his pocket.

Childcare isn’t just a big city problem—it’s every family’s problem.

When one city makes it affordable, it sets the bar for the rest of us.

Our co-founder Justin Cohen + @reshmasaujani.bsky.social explain why childcare must be priority #1. Link below ⬇️

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all families deserve housing, healthcare, and hope. That’s the real Declaration of Independence. That’s what we’ll keep fighting for. 🇺🇸 #July4th #DadsForAll

July 4th isn’t about celebrating what politicians do. It’s about celebrating what WE THE PEOPLE do. Championing every Dad fighting for affordable childcare, public schools, fair wages.

NYC, Dads & Dadvocates: Join us July 18 PT Knitwear in NYC for an evening of conversation & connection feat.:

✨ @johnbkingjr.bsky.social — former U.S. Edu. Sec
✨ @reshmasaujani.bsky.social — founder of @momsfirst.bsky.social and @girlswhocode.bsky.social

Space is limited — RSVP: buff.ly/dH8NqMp

We don’t have to accept a future where working families get scraps while the wealthiest cash in.

Dads for All stands for common-sense, caring solutions—without the cruelty. If you agree, spread the word.

#BigDadEnergy

If you believe in protecting families—yours and everyone else’s—now’s the time to raise your voice. Tell your dad friends what’s at stake. Most Americans haven’t heard about this vote. Let’s change that.

Then, call your Senators.

And let’s be honest: most of this has been rushed through. About 2/3 of Americans say they haven’t heard much about it. When they do learn, they oppose it 2:1.

The bill also includes $45 billion more for #ICE—more than the entire budget of all 50 state prison systems combined.
