[ [link removed] ]5 Actions
Dear Friend,

As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday next week, we are super grateful
for all of our MomsRising members and all that you do. Please take a
minute to check out our latest list of actions. We are fighting for Equal
Pay, Protecting SNAP and reducing the amount of young people in prison.
Here's the list =>

1. TAKE ACTION on Latina Equal Pay Day!



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

BACKGROUND: Latinas have to wait until November 20th – nearly the end of
2019 – to earn what white men made in just 12 months in 2018. Yes, that’s
nearly 11 extra months of work. When it comes down to dollars and cents,
Latinas are paid just 54 cents for every dollar paid to white men. Latina
moms, over 60% of whom are breadwinners for their families, make even less
– just 46 cents for every dollar paid to white dads. [ [link removed] ]TAKE ACTION! Tell
Congress: Close the wage gap for Latinas with a package of bills that
would advance equal pay!.

2. Ignite Democracy. Every gift MATCHED! 



Your Action Status: NOT YET DONATED ->
[ [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!

3. No New Youth Prisons in NJ!



Your Action Status: SIGN NOW ->
[ [link removed] ]Tell Governor Murphy

BACKGROUND: DYK, youth prisons and the practice of incarcerating youth are
ineffective and continue to cost states exorbitant amounts of taxpayer
dollars? Still, the US incarcerates more young people than any other
country. Youth prisons do little to improve community safety as compared
to community based efforts, that provide alternatives to incarceration
that support young people and the services they need. [ [link removed] ]Tell @GovMurphy:
NO NEW YOUTH PRISONS in NJ!

4. SIGN NOW: Tell the Trump Administration #HandsOffSNAP....again!



Your Action Status: SIGN NOW ->
[ [link removed] ]Take Action

BACKGROUND: It’s only been a few months since President Trump’s last
attack on SNAP (or food stamps), but now he’s at it again with his cruel
attempts to take food stamps away from struggling families in order to pay
for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations — even though studies
show that food stamps boost both families and our economy. This is the
THIRD TIME he has undermined the wishes of Congress and tried to propose a
rule that would limit the number of families that could receive SNAP and
reduced the amount of benefits recipients could receive. This hurts kids.
This hurts our families. And this hurts our economy.

Trump Administration: #HandsOffSNAP!!

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!
