2. Quick Signature: Tell Congress to Ban Surprise Medical
Bills!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: For the first time ever, Congress has an opportunity to pass
bipartisan legislation that will ban surprise medical bills, and would
protect patients while reducing health care costs and premiums. That’s
right—bipartisan legislation that would have a huge positive impact for
families across the country is within reach of passage! **But dark money
from provider groups is pouring into ad campaigns to stop it, so we need
everyone to speak out to support this bipartisan legislation. [ [link removed] ]When you
click this link we'll automatically sign you onto this important
petition telling Congress to pass legislation banning surprise medical
bills!

3. Write a Letter to the Editor to Speak Out to #SecureOurVote!
Your Action Status: NOT YET
WRITTEN A LETTER -> [ [link removed] ]Write a Letter
BACKGROUND: The entire national security community agrees that election
interference in 2016 was only a preview of what's to come unless Congress
acts. Our Senators need to know that we demand immediate action to secure
our vote ahead of upcoming elections. [ [link removed] ]Join us in writing a letter to

4. Join our September #KeepMarching Virtual Meeting: Abortion
Your Action Status: NOT YET RSVP'd ->
[ [link removed] ]RSVP
BACKGROUND: Now more than ever — reproductive health care is under attack
across the country. This war on women, mothers, and our daughters
particularly harms women in low-income families and communities of color,
who face more barriers accessing reproductive health care. Our September
#KeepMarching meeting is Thursday, September 26, 8 PM ET / 5PM PT, and
we’ll be talking about attacks on women’s reproductive health care,
including abortion. When abortion rights are under attack, what do we do?
[ [link removed] ]Stand up, fight back, and JOIN US on 9/26 at 8pm ET/5pm PT for our
September #KeepMarching virtual meeting!

5. Raise Your Voice to Shut Down the Berks County Family Detention Center!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: Babies are being held in detention. Families seeking
asylum--many of which are led by moms--are being held in prison-like
facilities. Human rights abuses in the name of immigration enforcement are
not okay. Pennsylvania is home to the Berks County Family Detention Center
(BCRC), a facility where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement holds
immigrant and asylum-seeking families. The Berks facility is currently one
of three family detention centers in the United States where children as
young as two-weeks-old are being held. [ [link removed] ]Join us to raise our parent
voices to demand Pennsylvania Governor Wolf finally Shut Down Berks! ->

INSPIRATION OF THE WEEK!
MomsRising was on Capitol Hill this week asking U.S Senators hold
immigration enforcement agencies accountable by cutting funding for
policies and programs that separate and incarcerate children and families.
Thank you to all who signed the petition!
We also co-sponsored a #WorkingFamilies Townhall on Facebook Live
featuring U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown speaking with North Carolina mom
Katie to discuss working family tax credits like the Earned Income Tax
Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC). (Click the photo to watch a
replay!)
