of the Past Week
Saturday, June 4, 2022
It’s been hard. While field days and graduations both signal the end of
the school year and the transition into summer camps and backyard BBQs,
the pandemic remains a constant force in our lives and we need to keep the
pressure on Congress to address the emergency that so many of us continue
to live in. Now is the time to keep making our voices heard so that the
priorities for American families aren’t ignored. We need to remind leaders
that we are still in the middle of a pandemic, parents are facing an
enormous burden trying to feed their babies in the midst of a massive
formula shortage, we still don’t have the care infrastructure we all need,
and nearly each day we’re faced with another horrific story of gun
violence. There is work to do!
This isn’t a time to feel helpless. It’s an opportunity to raise our
voices, to build our power together, and to demand change.

Check out our Feed Your Baby: Formula Shortage social media toolkit
Due to a historic recall of some forms of baby formula, there is now a
nationwide shortage of formula affecting families across the country. We
are not only working with the White House and Congress to address the
shortage, we also pulled together this bilingual social media toolkit to
educate and meet families where they are to provide information and
resources on maintaining food security for their children, as well as
collecting stories on how this shortage has affected families to help get
the situation fixed as soon as possible.
In this toolkit you will find sample language and images that you can
share on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. We encourage you to use this
toolkit to help us share how to best keep our babies healthy and fed
during this crisis and to help combat some of the misinformation out there
on the internet targeting parents.

Student Debt: A Systemic Failure Harming Millions of Families
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
We know that families across the country are struggling to make ends meet
amidst rising costs, which are largely driven by corporate greed. With the
stroke of a pen, President Biden can deliver instant relief in the form of
broad-based student debt forgiveness!
We're grateful for the latest repayment pause extension, but we need a
permanent solution that is universally applied without means testing (ie.
income caps).
While not all families are grappling with student debt, at least $50k
canceled per borrower will boost our nation’s collective prosperity – and
benefit all of us – by enabling millions of people to spend their
paychecks locally instead of losing those precious dollars each month to
hefty student loan payments.

student loan debt for all borrowers!

joining with MI State Senator Mallory McMorrow and the folks at Red Wine &
Blue for a National Troublemaker Training to hear more about how we can
push back on hate in our communities. Note, this is a zoom webinar and

It’s being reported that nearly 43% of popular baby formula brands,
including Similac, may be sold out at retailers across the country. This
is a major crisis and it more action needs to be done in order to make
sure parents are able to feed their babies the formula they need. Are you
struggling to find or afford baby formula right now? If so MomsRising
wants to hear from you. We need your stories in order to share them with
key decision makers to guarantee the proper steps are taken to end this
formula crisis. (Don’t worry–you can share anonymously if you want).

We need sensible limits around gun access.
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) laws give family members, law
enforcement, and sometimes other individuals like health professionals or
school administrators, a pathway for petitioning courts to temporarily
deny access to guns to people at risk of harm to themselves or others.
ERPO laws prevent school shootings and suicides, and every state should
have access to them!
[ [link removed] ]Sign here to tell Congress that we want states to enact ERPO laws!
