[ [link removed] ]5 Actions
Dear Friend,
Happy Friday! Did you vote this week? When moms RISE, things happen. Big
things. This year, to get out the vote for the Virginia elections, moms
sent a massive number of GOTV texts & hand-written postcards to low
frequency mom voters, made videos to inspire other moms to vote, shared
stories, became Beacons of Hope in local communities, delivered so much
strategic direct mail, reached out to infrequent mom voters with millions
of impressions on social media, held more than 22 events at polling
locations with games and fun for kids so moms could be voters & raise
voters, met on the ground & so much, much more! Thank you for igniting
democracy! Check out photos below, alongside our top actions from the past
week. Please scroll, sign and share. Then have a great weekend! Here's the
list =>
1. Tell Congress: Stop funding Trump's hateful immigration policies!
Your Action Status: NOT YET TOLD CONGRESS ->
[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress
BACKGROUND: Our nation’s budgets are supposed to reflect our values and
priorities, and we don’t want another dime of our tax dollars going
towards a detention center that jails immigrant children or the
construction of a harmful wall! Horrifyingly, just last week, the ACLU
discovered 1,556 more immigrant families were separated than previously
estimated. The U.S. Congress must reign in ICE and Customs and Border
Patrol and put an end to President Trump's hateful immigration policies
now and they have the power of the purse to do so. We will be on Capitol
Hill next week delivering materials and talking to key Senate leaders in
order to empower them to reclaim the power of the purse and stop the
funding of Trump's atrocious immigration policies. ***MAKE SURE TO SIGN
OUR LETTER NOW calling on the U.S. Congress to prioritize what our
families really need—nutrition, healthcare, education, and disaster
assistance programs—in budget negotiations and reject funding for family
separation and Trump’s hateful immigration policies.

3. Can You Drop Off a Letter to Your Local Regions or Citizens Bank Branch
on November 14?
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED UP ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Up
BACKGROUND: Sign on and we’ll email you everything you need to do a
drop-off. It only takes a few minutes, it will make a big impact, and is
urgently needed. Whether for storing sticky snacks, toy race cars, or
holding our leaders accountable, moms know the power of the purse. Now
let’s also use the power of our consumer voices to end bank financing of
private prisons! There can be no business in abuse. Join us in urging
Regions and Citizens Bank to stop financing private prisons!

4. Let's Increase Funding for Child Care and Head Start This Year!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: The struggle is real when it comes to finding high-quality,
affordable care for our children. The Child Care and Development Block
Grant (CCDBG), the major federal child care program, helps families with
the cost of child care and supports states to improve the quality and
supply of care. Families deserve enriching child care options that won’t
break the bank and will work for them, and child care assistance is
essential for helping families find and afford the high-quality care they
need! SIGN NOW to urge Congress to increase funding for Head Start and
the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) in the FY 2020 budget!

5. Write a Letter to the Editor to Support the Women’s Health Protection
Act
Your Action Status: NOT YET WRITTEN A
LETTER -> [ [link removed] ]Write a Letter
BACKGROUND: Abortion care is health care, period. And most people who have
abortions are already parents. Now more than ever—reproductive health care
is under attack across the country. Send a Letter to the Editor to your
local paper now and call on Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection
Act! We make it super easy with helpful tips and talking points.
