Watching the U.S. Senate confirmation hearings this week for Judge Ketanji
Brown Jackson for U.S. Supreme Court Justice have been equal parts
inspiring and frustrating. There have been times when I have wanted to
stand up and cheer for Judge Jackson – and times when I’ve wanted to rage
and throw things at my television because some Republican U.S. Senators
were horrifyingly racist and sexist during the hearing.
But, what stood out more than anything is the power that each of us have
to persevere, to make a difference, and to let our voices be heard.
Whether it’s an encouraging word to a friend or a stranger who needs a
“pick me up” or using your voice to let our elected leaders know how you
feel.
This week’s 5Actions feature quick steps you can take to make sure that
Congress knows we’re paying attention and want them to focus on the
priorities that are important to American families, including confirming
Judge Jackson without delay!

SIGN OUR LETTER to include our families in the next economic package
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
For the first time in many years, the federal budget prioritizes our
families, which, in turn, not only lowers costs for families but also
boosts the economy and helps stop inflation.
Now it’s time to double-down! We need to build on this momentum and
pressure Congress and the White House to pass an economic package that
builds the care infrastructure that we, our nation’s businesses, and our
economy need in order to succeed.

care infrastructure policies in the next economic reconciliation package!

We need to protect the gains we’ve made for families and expand access and
affordability for health care coverage. For the health of our families,
communities, and country, it is critical for Congress to close the
Medicaid gap and make permanent the tax credit improvements in the
Marketplace as part of an economic package this year.

Quick signature for postpartum health care coverage!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 gave states the option to extend the
postpartum coverage period for Medicaid and CHIP from 60 days following
pregnancy to a full year, starting in April of this year. However, this
important new provision that helps make sure birthing parents have the
health care they need—including mental health care—during their child’s
first year of life, is currently only available to states for five years.
We have the opportunity to make this option permanent, we just need
Congress to take action!

Medicaid and CHIP coverage permanent!
