Dear Friend,
The headlines this week have been hard. There’s so much need for our
voices, and for your voice. So we want to start into the weekend by
sharing our gratitude with you for all you’re doing to make our nation a
better place for everyone. This week's like of top actions includes urgent
calls around an impeachment inquiry, voting, immigration, child care, and
more. Please take a moment to make sure you've checked them all off, and
share with friends and family too. Thank you and here's the list =>
1. Demand a Thorough and Fair Impeachment Inquiry

BACKGROUND: America’s elections belong to America’s voters and no foreign
government should play any role in determining the outcomes, let alone be
coerced by the President to do so! We must hold the President, and all
leaders, accountable to the people. This is a historically important
moment to stand up not just for us, not just for today, but because the
patterns we are setting now build the country our children will live in
for years to come--and we want our children to live in a fair democracy.

BACKGROUND: Did you see the spectacular work MomsRising members did last
week in Virginia on Voting Day? (Check out our [ [link removed] ]photo album here.) Voter
turnout across the state increased by more than 30% compared to 2015. [1]
That's incredible for an off-year election, and our VA #MomsVote team can
take credit for much of it! 🎉 🎉 🎉 Now we are looking ahead to 2020, and
intend to repeat those spectacular results across the country. Are you

[ [link removed] ]Be a Champion
BACKGROUND: When moms rise, BIG things happen. Like igniting democracy! In
fact, for the recent elections last week, MomsRising members like you
generated a MASSIVE amount of get-out-the-vote energy — by sending
thousands upon thousands of hand-written voter postcards to infrequent mom
voters, by making personal videos to inspire other moms, by sharing info
and encouragement via text message, by hosting parties at the voting
polls, and so much, much more. What made all this possible? Your
enthusiastic support. To keep up the MOMentum for democracy, we’ve opened
the Giving Tuesday Match EARLY! [ [link removed] ]Become a dedicated MomsRising Champion
monthly donor and ignite democracy ALL OVER AMERICA, all year long!

4. 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 rein 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.

5. 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!

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK
This week we were on the ground outside the Regions Bank headquarters in
Birmingham, and a Citizens Bank in Rhode Island, demanding they stop
financing private prisons! Our Pennsylvania team also hosted a compelling
conversation about paid family and medical leave with community leaders in
Harrisburg, PA.
Thanks for all you do, and have a great weekend!
