Dear Friend,
[ [link removed] ]Want to dress up like a bee?
It's a very real question! We’re hearing the Senate vote on the Big Bad
BEEtrayal Bill could be as soon as June 26th. YIKES. So, we’re amping up
the pressure on Senators in an unconventional, memorable,
impossible-to-ignore, buzzing, creative way—and we need your help.
[ [link removed] ]Can you join us this Wednesday 6/25 at 10:30 am to create a buzz on
Capitol Hill along with leading Senators—and then join us to deliver
stories from moms and families across the nation and urge every single
U.S. Senator to Vote NO on the Big Bad BEEtrayal Bill?
☀️IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to extreme heat this week, this event will take
place completely indoors! [ [link removed] ]We’ll email you the specific location when
you RSVP. ☀️
Bonus! We have some free-bees for you & yours: FREE bee costumes for kids
& FREE “Bee Squad” shirts and adorable bee antennae for adults. We also
have storybooks to deliver for everyone.
[ [link removed] ]What do you think? Can you join us this Wednesday 6/25 at 10:30 am on
Capitol Hill to create a buzz?
Rewind… Why are we dressing up as bees? The bees are silly and
memorable—and they’re also strategic: MRI studies of the brain show that
humor is one of the only ways to break people out of partisan mindsets so
they can get back to logic. [1] Since we need a few good Republican
Senators to stand with us, we’re employing humor and stories to try to
move beyond the partisan lock.
So we need you, your friends, your out-of-school-for-the-summer kids, your
colleagues, your students, your neighbors, all the people to help amp up
the buzz! [ [link removed] ]And we especially need YOU because many MomsRising members
who live in the DC-area can’t leave work at 10:30 am on a Wednesday, so we
need the help of everyone who can get to the U.S. Capitol to represent the
moms of America who can’t be there in-person!
So, what’s the plan?
* Join us in bringing the voices, experiences, and stories of moms,
parents, families and caregivers to the Hill.
* 10:30 am: Buzz on over to the Hill and bee ready for some
powerful fun while swarming the Capitol! Please arrive by 10:30
am to leave adequate time to start at 10:40 am! You will need to
go through security to enter the building, so try to pack light
(but bring the necessities like water, snacks, diaper bags,
etc.)! We’ll have t-shirts and bee costumes for you at our
meeting location.
* 10:40 am: We’ll host a short, buzz-worthy media event with
storytellers and U.S. Senators.
* 11:15 am: We’ll buzz around the U.S. Senate buildings to
hand-deliver storybooks to senate offices.
* [ [link removed] ]If you can’t stay past 11:15 am to help us deliver storybooks,
that’s ok! We’d still love for you to join us for the event. (And
we also understand if you come late to mainly join us inside for
deliveries. We’ll give you logistics info when you RSVP.)
* Bring your kiddo(s)! We’ll even provide a 🐝free bee🐝 costume for your
child to create a buzz!
* [ [link removed] ]Make sure to RSVP here so we can be sure to get your size bee
costume or shirt! Please pass this link along to others so they can
join too!
* If you’ve never been to an event like this, don’t worry! There’s no
pressure to speak with Senate offices, and we’ll have staff to help
out (and instructions for everyone) for the storybook drop-offs. Just
physically being there will make a huge difference!
Together, stand alongside U.S. Senate Democrats in opposition to the Big
Bad BEEtrayal Bill and make our voices heard.
[ [link removed] ]We need you! Come join us to tell the U.S. Senate to vote NO on the
Republican Big Bad BEEtrayal. Sign up to attend on 6/25 now!
Thank you!
With gratitude,
- Kristin, Felicia, Olivia, Elyssa, Hanna, Kelsey, Monifa, Beatriz, and
the whole MomsRising.org & MamásConPoder Team
