Emma Bloomberg: Why Civic Responsibility is a Parenting Value

Civic engagement isn’t just voting every few years. So what does it look like in real life for parents? Because if change isn’t coming from the top, it has to come from us, by building power locally. In this episode, we’re joined by Emma Bloomberg, founder and CEO of Murmuration, an organization strengthening democracy by equipping local civic groups and everyday people with the tools to build power where they live. Emma has spent her career at the intersection of public service, philanthropy, and civic tech, focused on how democratic engagement really works on the ground, not just in theory. We dive into why parent voices matter so much, what grassroots organizations are up against, and why lasting change takes long-term support, not quick fixes. Emma shares how Murmuration uses tech and data tools to help local organizations grow their impact, build stronger coalitions, and move communities forward. She also breaks down why the best progress doesn’t come from waiting on one national leader to save the day, but from people coming together locally showing up, staying connected, and staying engaged beyond election season. We talk about how civic responsibility fits into parenting, the power of human connection, and what gives Emma hope for the future. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay civically engaged without burning out—or how to turn “I care about this” into real action this episode is for you. 0:00 - Introduction 1:01 - Weekly Check-In & Current Events 5:07 - Alex Preddy Shooting Discussion 10:23 - TikTok & Social Media Changes 13:14 - Pop Culture: Heated Rivalry & Traitors 21:45 - Guest Introduction: Emma Bloomberg 23:14 - Rapid Fire Questions 28:24 - Current Political Climate 30:27 - What is Murmuration? 35:06 - Data & Civic Engagement Tools 38:29 - Building Coalitions Beyond Party Lines 44:05 - Looking Ahead to 2026 46:01 - Collective Action & Common Ground 48:08 - Vision for Success 50:34 - Make It Make Sense: Balancing Work & Parenthood 53:45 - Civic Engagement for Moms 56:26 - Hope for the Future 58:32 - Closing & Resources Learn more about: Tanya Nathan is a political campaign and communications strategist with over a decade of experience in progressive campaigns and advocacy.
