STEUBENVILLE — During a town hall Saturday, a national advocacy group of mothers questioned federal and state candidates for public office on issues that concern families, including access to childcare and paid leave.
Hosting its first event in the Steubenville area was Mother Forward, a movement of mothers, childcare providers and other supporters that organizes at the state and federal level to advocate for affordable, accessible and fair-paying childcare, as well as guaranteed paid family leave. Founded in January 2023, the group is active in 15 states, with about 300 members in Ohio, according to local member Katie Holler.
