“My mother died a few months ago of cancer and we would have not made it
as a family without the daily care from immigrant caregivers. This
country needs immigrants from all walks of life and we are lucky to have
them.” – MomsRising member from Pennsylvania
Despite the terrible things we hear that some members of Congress and
others are saying about immigrants, we know the reality. Immigrants are
our nation’s strength. And as National Caregivers Day approaches on
February 16th, we want to use this opportunity to make sure members of
Congress know how critical immigrant caregivers are in our communities!
Across the country immigrants make up more than 18% of the nation's
healthcare workers and 27% of direct care workforce - including home
health aides, personal health aides, and nursing assistants.

Quick signature: Reduce the cost of EpiPens!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Right now, our country faces an affordability crisis as some patients are
paying more than $600 per EpiPen, a life-saving emergency drug.
Moms like Karen from New York have shared with us how critical EpiPens are
for families:
“EpiPens have saved my daughter's life twice. I cannot imagine what
would have happened without them.”
Since 2007, Mylan, the company that manufactures lifesaving EpiPens, has
raised costs. The EpiPen soared from $100 to over $600 in 2016, even
though the expense of producing an EpiPen dose of epinephrine has stayed
approximately $1. This is outrageous and needs to stop. That’s why we must
urge Congress to act by passing the EpiPen Act!

This Valentine’s Day, we’re telling Congress: “Don’t go breaking our
hearts. Pass policies that families LOVE!” That’s right, it’s past time
for Congress to show their love for our families and pass policies that
are sweeter than a heart-shaped box of chocolates—policies that lift
children, families, businesses, and our economy.
[ [link removed] ]Hand-decorating Valentines for Congress is an attention getting way to
remind them to show some love for families! Plus, it’s a fun activity to
do with the kids (or adults) in your life. Sign up now to decorate
Valentines for us to deliver.

Call your Representative to expand the Child Tax Credit!
Because YOU have spoken out over the past year–sending calls, sharing
stories, signing letters, and shouting from the rooftops!–we have a
positive update on the Child Tax Credit (CTC): Democrats and Republicans
have reached a bipartisan deal to temporarily expand the Child Tax Credit.
And the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on it next week!
This is huge and we need your help to keep the momentum going. CALL your
U.S. Representative using our hotline to Congress and tell your elected
leader to “Pass and support the bipartisan tax package and expand the
Child Tax Credit immediately.”
We make it super easy for you–simply text CTC to 888-418-5699–or click the
link below and fill in your information and you’ll get a call on your
phone connecting you directly to your Representative’s offices. We even
provide you with written talking points to assist you in your call.

P.S.– Immigrant caregivers are critical in helping moms and families stay
healthy and safe. Our care infrastructure would crumble without the
incredible work of immigrants. Do you have an incredible immigrant
