[ [link removed] ]MomsRising presents: 5Actions
Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Friday, January 14, 2022
It’s the first #5Actions of 2022: Last year, despite being in the middle
of a pandemic, we did some amazing things together. You took over
1,400,000 actions, made 60,000+ phone calls, submitted over 4,000 letters
to the editor, and so much more.
Now, in 2022, there’s more work to be done to build the care
infrastructure we all need in the Build Back Better programs, including
maternal health equity, childcare and Pre-K, paid family and medical
leave, extend the monthly Child Tax Credit checks, and expand home- and
community-based services; as well as to protect our reproductive health,
save voting rights, end police violence and hold them accountable, and
make sure the priorities of American families are advanced in our nation’s
capital.
You can help by taking these #5Actions!

How has COVID affected your pregnancy or breastfeeding experience or of someone
that you love?

Everyone who becomes pregnant, gives birth, and who is breastfeeding
should have access to a safe, healthy, and respectful experience, even
(and especially) during a pandemic. This situation is constantly evolving,
and your personal experiences can make a HUGE difference in helping
decision makers and elected leaders understand how to best meet the needs
of new moms and babes, and ensure healthy outcomes for all. This is why we
need YOUR story.

Urge your Senator to Support Critical Investments in Maternal Health in the
Build Back Better Act!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Right now, the United States is the most dangerous place to give birth in
the developed world, with major racial disparities where Black women lose
their lives at 3 to 4 times the rate of white women due to
maternity-related causes, independent of age, economic background, or
education, a fact that has gone unchanged for several decades. If we’re
going to save our moms, we need everyone to be a part of the solution.
We know that at least 60% of maternal deaths can be prevented and infant
mortality reduced with investment in public policies and culturally
competent care. Together we can tackle this crisis.

in maternal health in the Build Back Better Act!

QUICK SIGNATURE: Support the Women’s Health Protection Act
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->

Here’s the scoop: Last month the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments
by the state of Mississippi as they continued their direct and aggressive
effort to overturn Roe v. Wade. Then the Court failed us, again, by
upholding SB8, the most extreme anti-abortionbill Texas has ever seen. In
both the Texas and the Mississippi cases, at least four of the court's
conservative justices (and counting) have suggested that they are prepared
to overturn Roe on the grounds that it was wrongly decided, despite the
public's decades of reliance on it. While we hope that the Supreme Court
will strike down these unjust and dangerous laws, we can not rely on the
current justices to protect our reproductive rights. The urgency is clear.
Take action now and urge the U.S. Senate to pass the Women’s Health
Protection Act, which will protect our reproductive rights, regardless of
what state we live in.

Share Your Story About Police In Schools

The current climate of schools in America is one of fear and intimidation
by police. In place of health professionals, such as counselors,
phycologists, and nurses, schools continue to heavily fund police to
handle remedial offenses. Data has shown that students who are convicted
of crimes based on remedial offenses are at higher risk for experiencing
physical, emotional, and mental trauma, and are more likely not to
re-enroll in grade school. Help MomsRising reimagine school safety by
sharing your own experiences of police in schools and alternatives.

Police violence is an epidemic that is so entrenched in American society
that we as a people have become desensitized to it. There needs to be a
change. Support MomsRising as we take a stand against police violence and
share your own experiences.
