Dear Friend,
The Fourth of July may have passed, but we’re not done fighting for our
nation’s future – and we’re also not done WINNING.
Yes, we said the “W” word: Winning! In fact, in no small part due to the
power and persistence of moms and parents, these state wins have happened
in just the past couple of months:
* North Carolina: Won expanded paid leave for public employees.
* West Virginia: Secured vital child care funding.
* New Hampshire: Defeated harmful book bans to keep schools inclusive.
* Pennsylvania: Powering toward passing a statewide paid family and
medical leave law.
* New York City: Won major investments in child care.
Now, we need to use these state wins, and this MOMentum, to grow power in
our nation’s capitol so that no matter where people live, every parent has
access to these critical policies.
And we have a plan.
[ [link removed] ]**Join us in urging Congress to follow The Mom Plan for America to lift
families and the economy.
As we pass the 4th of July, moms have a declaration to make about life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Spoiler alert: It starts with
affordable health care, universal child care, and groceries that don't
cost a fortune.
You know it. We feel it. Things aren’t good right now. We’re in an
affordability crisis that didn't have to be this bad: Last year, President
Trump signed devastating cuts to health care and nutrition programs into
law. [ [link removed] ]Now, Congress must reverse those cuts and start opening avenues
for families and our economy to thrive – and we have a plan for them to do
it: The Mom Plan for America.
Skeptical that we can win? Don’t be! We know change is possible because
moms are already winning at the state and local levels. (See the inspiring
wins list above).
These victories didn’t happen by accident. They happened because moms
showed up, raised their voices, and organized for change.
If we can win critical victories in states across the nation, then
Congress can do it nationally too. It’s time to scale these wins.
Let freedom ring for moms and families!
We are launching the Mom Plan for America—a 12-point blueprint for an
America where all families and our economy can thrive.
As part of this Mom Plan, we're calling on Congress to:
* Reverse the health care cuts, including the $1 trillion in Medicaid
cuts, enacted through H.R. 1.
* Reverse the nutrition cuts enacted through H.R. 1 in this year's Farm
Bill.
* Reject any additional cuts to nutrition or health care programs in the
Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations bills.
* Prioritize policies that expand access to affordable health care and
nutrition assistance for all families, including permanently extending
the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.
* And, last but far from least, advance the Mom Plan for America!

*Here’s the Mom Plan for America, a plan to lift families and the economy:
* Health Care for All: From birth onwards, including aging, and
disability.
* Healthy Food: Access to nutritious food for every family.
* Respect for Every Family: Safety, dignity, and opportunity for every
mom and family, regardless of race or background; and not mass
incarceration.
* Freedom from Gun Violence: Keep our communities, kids, and democracy
safe.
* Defend Democracy: Unshakeable voting rights, freedom of speech, and
safe access to polling locations.
* Safe Schools: Ensure schools are places where every child can learn
and thrive.
* Reproductive Freedom: Better maternal health outcomes and autonomy
over reproductive health decisions.
* Protect Immigrant Families: Immigration policies that balance
compassion and security, while honoring the contributions of
immigrants.
* Fair Taxes for Families: Tax policies that prioritize families and the
economy.
* Universal Childcare: High-quality early education for every child.
* Good Jobs: Fair pay, paid family and medical leave, and earned sick
days.
* Affordable Cost of Living: Housing, gas, groceries, utilities, and
other basics must be affordable so everyone can build a good life.
After you sign on, we’ll deliver this Mom Plan for America straight to
Congress so they know exactly what we expect them to be working toward.
This is important. One year after devastating federal cuts put health care
and food assistance at risk for millions of families, we’re choosing hope
and action – because we know the power of moms is unstoppable. We’ve shown
that when moms raise their voices, public opinion shifts and policies
change.
When moms organize, we all win.
*Don’t forget to [ [link removed] ]add your name today to help us bring our nation closer
to liberty and justice for ALL. (And please share with 3 friends so they
can sign on too).
Thank you for ALL you each do!
