Share Your Story | Same Sky

Pick whichever one you want to answer.

Tell us about a time raising your child was harder than it should have been. Tell us about something that worked. A program, a person, a place that made a difference for your family. Tell us what you wish someone in Washington understood about raising kids where you live.

Your story

A few sentences or a few paragraphs. We are not looking for polish.

About you

So we know who we are hearing from, and where.

First name

City

State

Your age

Your children’s ages

Ages only. Please do not include your children’s names.

Add a photo or video

Optional, and always about you rather than your children.

This is your story to tell. Please send photos or video of yourself, not of your children. We do not accept images or video of children, and we never publish a child’s name or photo.

A photo of you

One image, up to 8 MB. Video is too large to upload here. To send video, record it on your phone and email it to info@samesky.org.

What we can do with this

Your answers here decide everything. Leave anything unchecked and we will not do it.

You can share my story publicly, with my first name and state. In our monthly updates, on social media, or in materials for policymakers. You can share the photo or video I sent. Only alongside my story, and only if I checked the box above. You can contact me about telling this story in a bigger way. Press, an event, or a recorded conversation. We would always ask first. I would rather talk than type. Set up a call. A short conversation with someone from our team.

By sharing, you agree to hear from Same Sky by email. Unsubscribe anytime.
