Reproductive care deserts are becoming more and more prevalent these days.

Imagine this: You or someone you love just found out that they’re
pregnant. Immediately, one wonders, “What are my next steps?” So
naturally, you begin to search online for your nearest physician, only to
find out that the nearest maternity ward has closed down and you have to
travel nearly 50 miles for care. Now what?
This is the current reality for many women in communities across the
country. We need Congress to step in immediately to ensure that every
woman has access to affordable, high-quality and comprehensive
reproductive care, including maternity care.
[ [link removed] ]Join us and urge Congress to take action on the pressing issue of
maternity care deserts that is currently plaguing rural communities and do
more to protect expecting mothers and individuals in need of reproductive
care!

The End Diaper Need Act of 2023 was introduced in both the U.S. Senate and
House of Representatives just a few weeks ago! These pieces of legislation
would help to alleviate the burden of Diaper Need, by investing $200
million each fiscal year from 2024 through 2027 to fund the expansion and
scaling of programs addressing diaper need and improving the health and
wellbeing of infants, toddlers, and families across the country. But we
need your help! The End Diaper Need Act needs more support from Congress!

It’s Time to Reimagine Public Safety!

Now, more than ever, it is crucial for Congress to step up and support new
inclusive, holistic, and health-centered approaches to dealing with crises
that will reduce harm and truly keep our communities safe. State, local,
and tribal governments across the country are already implementing
innovative strategies to prevent violence, reduce harm, and improve the
wellbeing of every community, especially Black and brown communities.
The People’s Response Act provides the resources and assistance to scale
up these efforts and truly transform public safety in the United States.
It would reframe how we think about and respond to crisis situations in
this country with an approach that meets the demands and needs of our
communities and this moment.
