In case you missed it: MomsRising October Community Meeting
During our time together, we talked about what’s really going on with the
government shutdown and how Republicans in Congress’ reckless decisions
have pushed our health care system into a full-on crisis. When Republicans
cut $1 trillion from health care programs this summer, they took health
care from over 15 million people. Now, the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced
premium tax credits—which help 24 million people afford health care—are
also under threat, putting affordable health care at even greater risk.
Instead of funding essential health care programs, Republican leaders in
Congress have doubled down on cuts and even shut down the government out
of unwillingness to negotiate.
It’s become very clear that their priority isn’t families or care, but tax
breaks for millionaires and terrifying hardworking immigrants, people who
are critical to our care infrastructure, our economy, and our futures! But
we are not backing down. Together, we are meeting up, organizing, speaking
out, and fighting for the care every family deserve.
We are very grateful to our expert guest speakers, including Neera Tanden,
President and CEO, Center for American Progress (CAP), and Fatima Goss
Graves, President and CEO, National Women’s Law Center (NWLC), for our
October Community Zoom Meeting!
If you missed the meeting or would like to review any part of the program,
no problem! You can find it on our [ [link removed] ]YouTube channel. (Please feel free
to share it with anyone you think might find this helpful!) The recording
is also [ [link removed] ]available on Zoom, Passcode: j5cG=$Ie (To listen to it in

QUICK LIST: Read and share helpful shutdown resources
We moms shouldn’t have to hold the nation together on empty.
Yet here we are in the middle of a government shutdown that has thrown
families into chaos. SNAP benefits are being cut; air traffic controllers,
military school teachers, families in several states are losing child care
as Head Start centers start to close; and other federal employees are
facing another missed paycheck (while still showing up every day, keeping
our country running!). WIC is barely hanging on by thread, and rising
costs are pushing families past the brink.
We’re holding our communities and workplaces together, and once again,
we're holding the nation together, while the resources families need are
stalled because Republican leaders in Washington, DC won’t come to the
negotiating table! We have some resources to share with you and that YOU
can share with others.

November MomsRising Community Meetup
We’re organizing to build a better future. Will you join us?
On the 4th Thursday of every month, Moms, parents, caregivers, and
families from across the nation gather virtually for our MomsRising
Monthly Community Meetings. This month, we will hear from special guest
experts, leaders, and advocates to talk about:
* How rising ACA costs impact families and communities; and
* What local elected officials (city, county, and school board members)
can do to help, along with ways our members can take action
* followed by a panel Q&A!
These gatherings are about more than just updates—they’re about building
power, community, and hope. Because when we come together, we are
powerful.
Let’s rise together—RSVP now to join us! You can even sign up for multiple
months at a time by checking multiple dates.
This event will be conducted in English, with simultaneous translation
available in Spanish.

Submit a story about how #Trumpflation has impacted you directly
You're not imagining things when you look at price tags, receipts, or
bills and find yourself audibly gasping out loud. Rising costs are
negatively impacting families across the nation – and are undermining our
economy as a whole. At MomsRising, we’re fed up with high prices and with
the lies we keep hearing from Trump and congressional Republicans about
the economy.

impacting your family.
