[ [link removed] ]MomsRising presents: 5Actions
Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Friday, March 12, 2021

It’s time to do a happy dance! Yesterday, in no small part because members
like you raised your voices, President Biden signed the American Rescue
Plan into law! This important legislation directly supports families at a
time when it's most needed. None of this would have been possible without
all of your work calling your Representatives and Senators, signing
petitions, writing letters to the editor, sharing your stories, and so
much more. THANK YOU! Your voices are powerful and do make a big
difference.

The American Rescue Plan is a big step forward for our nation in a time of
tremendous need -- and we also have so much more to do. This week’s
5Actions includes actions on fair immigration policies, paid leave for
all, and expanding health care coverage for kidney patients.

Thank you for all you do to make America a better place for every family!

Modernize our immigration system to protect families!

Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now

We need Congress to pass a fair immigration plan that keeps children with
their parents, offers a roadmap to citizenship, and ensures the well-being
of families. The good news is that many legislators are getting to work.
There is now some hope on the horizon for creating a fair immigration
process! Legislation is being introduced in Congress that will help heal
our nation and rebuild our immigration system into a fair and humane
process for all families.

[ [link removed] ]Sign on! We need bipartisan support, so please tell every member of
Congress to pass fair immigration legislation that protects immigrant
children and families!

Paid Leave for All. Now.

Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now

We are one of the only countries in the world without a national paid
leave policy, which meant that when the pandemic hit, we were unprepared.
It should be a given that you should not work and spread illness when you
are critically sick and recovering, that you should never have to choose
between your family and your paycheck, your life and your livelihood. Our
families need and want a sustainable paid leave policy in place so that
families and businesses are never scrambling for piecemeal solutions when
critical illness strikes, a serious family caregiving crisis arises, or a
new child arrives. This bears repeating: Paid leave is the key to our
long-term health, stability, and prosperity. Paid leave saves jobs. Paid
leave saves lives.

pass permanent paid leave.

Tell Congress to Expand Health Care Coverage for Kidney Patients!

Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now

For people with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), their kidneys are beyond
repair. This means they must regularly access dialysis treatments or
receive a transplant and take medications to stay alive—all of which are
incredibly expensive. ESRD is non-reversible and fatal without treatment
and can impact anyone, at any age. ESRD also disproportionately impacts
people in Black, Latinx, and indiginous communities, as well as people
with disabilities (and is in and of itself considered a disabling
condition). Additionally, almost 10,000 children and adolescents in the
U.S. are living with ESRD.

America Is Safer and Stronger, and Our Futures are Brighter, Because the
American Rescue Plan Is Law

Yesterday, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law.
America’s moms thank President Biden, Vice President Harris, and every
lawmaker who fought so hard for the American Rescue Plan. Each time a
family goes to a grocery store instead of a food bank, each time a school
reopens safely, each time a family can keep the heat on instead of
shivering through the winter, we will know the American Rescue Plan is
working. Every time a mom is able to re-enter the workforce, the American
Rescue Plan is kicking in.
