[ [link removed] ]MomsRising presents: 5Actions
Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Friday, December 4, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be an urgent crisis, yet many of the
protections passed earlier this year are set to expire at the end of the
month. We are calling on the U.S. Senate to immediately pass a relief
package now that will benefit everyone in our nation. We also must urge
Congress to prioritize childcare funding.

This week’s 5Actions has a great reminder if you need to sign up for
health insurance (the open enrollment window is now open via the
Affordable Care Act), and also a fantastic webinar on how you can eat
healthy on a budget.

Scroll down to see all of these actions; and if you have already taken
these actions, then please share them with your friends. The more of us
who raise our voices, the faster we’ll move forward the changes our nation
needs.

Times are tough right now and we appreciate all you do. Thank you.

-- Sue Anne, Kristin, Anita, Elyssa, Nina, Nadia, Jessica, Tasmiha,
Jordan, and the rest of the MomsRising / MamásConPoder Team

Sign our petition telling Congress: #ReliefCantWait

Unless Congress takes action within the next few weeks, 12 million people
will be immediately kicked off of unemployment insurance and 19 million
renters will lose their homes. This is all at the same time that 1 in 4
children are living in hunger because of the impacts of COVID and cases of
the virus are soaring in every single state—and only expected to go up as
we head into the holidays and colder months. This is a crisis on top of a
crisis and we need leaders in the U.S. Congress to pass a robust,
comprehensive COVID-relief package IMMEDIATELY!

#ReliefCantWait for our families, hospitals, small businesses, and
economy!

Congress must #SaveChildcare

A record number of moms are being pushed out of the workforce and as COVID
numbers rise and with CARES funding disappearing at the end of the year,
childcare providers and families need help now to ensure they survive into
the new year. At least $50 billion is necessary to stabilize the child
care and $7 billion in funding through the Child Care and Development
Block Grant (CCDBG) sector and it is needed now. Recent analysis shows
that at least $9.6 billion a month is needed to fully fund existing
programs to pay all their staff, be prepared to reopen at the appropriate
time and eliminate cost burdens for families whose providers are closed.
It is essential that Congress prioritize supporting families’ access to
safe, high-quality, and affordable childcare.

before the end of 2020!

There is still time to make sure you’re covered for 2021 Open Enrollment!

[ [link removed] ]Sign Up Now

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage our communities, many people
are losing their employer sponsored health care coverage just when they
need it the most. And because the Trump administration has consistently
tried to undermine the Affordable Care Act (ACA) [1], many people are not
aware that the ACA is still in place and Healthcare.gov provides good
options for people seeking health coverage. It’s time to use our outside
voices for health care to spread the word about Open Enrollment at
HealthCare.gov for 2021!

[ [link removed] ]Sign up now! Take action and help get the word out about open
enrollment at HealthCare.gov. **When you click, you’ll receive our 2021
Open Enrollment toolkit to help spread the word!
