Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Friday, May 13, 2022

We started the week energized by the hundreds of powerful stories you
shared with us during the first ever MOMibuster! Thank you!! During the
MOMibuster more than 98,000 views happened! Thank you also for tuning in!
We hope you were able to sit back and be inspired by how each of our care
stories add up to show that none of us are alone, that we aren’t in a
epidemic of personal failures, and that we have national structural issues
that we can solve together.

Since then, we harnessed that energy and are building momentum as we
continue to fight for policies that families need the most, including:
Reproductive rights, childcare and Pre-K, home- and community-based
services, maternal health equity, access to formula, fair treatment of all
immigrant families, and more.

Top of our mind this week is that the failure of the Women’s Health
Protection Act (WHPA) in the Senate has only strengthened our resolve to
protect reproductive rights. The combination of the need to lower family
costs and address formula shortages nationwide make it all the more clear
that sound economic and health policies are paramount. It’s also clear
that families seeking safety within our borders should not be faced with
more hurdles than they already have in their journey.

This Friday the 13th, we refuse to be spooked into backing down. Here are
a few simple actions to show Congress that we won’t accept less than we
deserve.

Has your family been affected by the formula shortage?

It’s being reported that nearly 40% of popular baby formula brands,
including Similac, may be sold out at retailers across the country.
Already suffering supply chain issues, the recent recall has resulted in
an infant feeding crisis. Hundreds of thousands of families across the
country are struggling to find formula to feed their babies. They are
driving hours away, calling dozens of stores and enlisting the help of
friends and family in their search. Share your story so we can let
Congress know the real impact the negligence that led to this recall has
had, and ensure that formula companies are doing their due diligence from
now on.

This is critical to mothers: Six in ten women who have abortions are
already mothers, with studies showing many are choosing not to have
another child to protect the well-being of their existing family; moms
want abortion care to be accessible to all who need it. Our elected
officials and appointed judges need to understand that abortion is
essential health care and respect people’s dignity, autonomy and rights.
We need support through donations for the next phases of our fight. Are
you ready?

[ [link removed] ]The outcome of Wednesday’s #WHPA vote DOES NOT reflect the will of the
people. We’ll keep fighting for abortion access until Congress ensures all
people can access the vital health care they need, including abortion.
Will you support us?

Say it with us: #BansOffOurBodies! Every single person should be able to
make their own decisions about their health and their bodies — including
whether to get an abortion, in consultation with their loved ones and
health care providers. We implore you to join our movement. We want you to
be a part of the action in every single way possible! Make your unique
voice be heard: Share your story and we'll use it to pressure federal and
state elected leaders to act now on reproductive rights! This is about
obtaining and maintaining medical freedom and the right to make our own
choices.

Inflation is costing the average U.S. household an additional $296 per
month. The cost of groceries, gas, childcare, formula, and everything in
between is going up. **We want to hear from you about how you and your
family are dealing with the rising cost of groceries, gas, childcare, and
other goods and services. Share your story with MomsRising so we can
understand what’s going on with the budgets and pocketbooks of families
around the country. Your stories matter! It helps us propose family-first
policies and paint a picture for elected leaders and the media of what
families are going through. (Don’t worry—you can submit your story
anonymously as well).

USE YOUR VOICE! Write a letter to the editor, let’s end Title 42 once and for
all!

For two years our nation has blocked vulnerable asylum seeking families
from finding safety within our borders, a right that is recognized by
national and international law. Title 42, a Trump-era policy, falsely
cited these vulnerable children and their parents as COVD-19 public health
threats. Ending the misuse of Title 42 is not revolutionary, it merely is
a return to the status-quo immigration policies of pre-pandemic times.

moms is never finished. They still need a solid care infrastructure so
they can thrive. Care. Can’t. Wait.
