- 15:55Why Isn't America’s Greatest Story Being Told? | Congressman Brian Baird | TEDxPacific AvenueThe spirit of service is fundamental to our national character and essential to our democratic republic, but there are no museums or memorials anywhere dedicated to honoring ALL those who give of themselves to help others through their work, charitable contributions or as volunteers.With our nation deeply divided, a loss of trust in institutions, and an epidemic of loneliness and isolation - honoring and inspiring everyone to serve may be the key to uplifting and unifying our nation and saving democracy itself.

- 11:13The crisis facing American mothers and what we can do about it | Kayla Elderkin | TEDxPacific AvenueNewborns need their mothers — but in America, most women are forced back to work just weeks after giving birth. With no federally mandated paid leave, rising childcare costs, and mounting mental health crises, the system is failing moms and children alike. Kayla Elderkin delivers a raw, personal account of how she escaped the impossible trap so many mothers face — and challenges us to question the cultural norms that call this "normal." Kayla Elderkin is a single mother who refused to choose between raising her children and providing for them. While on maternity leave, she started building a business from scratch—determined to create a life that allowed her to be both present and financially secure. Today, she’s grown a community of over 600,000 across her platforms and is on a mission to help other women do the same: stay home with their babies and still provide boldly.
