June is flying by – and so many of us are juggling so much all at the same
time as we try to keep our families healthy and happy.
We appreciate you. We appreciate all you do, including taking the time out
of your busy schedules to take these actions to keep Congress focused on
the most important priorities.
Thank you again for all you do!

Quick signature: Tell Congress to prevent a health care price hike!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
In 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan, which lowered health
insurance premiums for people who buy insurance on their own, capping
costs at 8.5% of income. Because of these lower premiums, more than 14.5
million Americans enrolled in health coverage on the ACA marketplaces in
2021 — an all time high for the nation. However, millions of families are
facing massive price hikes—and millions more will no longer be able to
afford insurance at all — if the expanded tax credits are allowed to
expire this year.
[ [link removed] ]Quick signature: Tell Congress to make the American Rescue Plan
subsidies permanent to ensure hardworking families can continue to access
the health care they need.

Mom’s mental health resources are needed, send a letter to the editor!

Now that the US is focused on the importance of increasing mental health
services, it is crucial that new mothers are included in that
conversation. Maternal mental health conditions, like postpartum
depression and anxiety, are the most common complications of pregnancy and
childbirth, affecting 800,000 women in the US each year. Yet approximately
75% of women report going untreated. The abysmal rates of diagnosis and
effective treatment contribute to making suicide one of the leading causes
of death in the first year after a baby is born.This crisis is even more
pronounced for new mothers of color who have almost twice the rate of
postpartum depression as white moms. Black women, in particular, are half
as likely to receive treatment for these conditions as white women.
But our lawmakers need to hear why maternal mental health matters to the
voters in their communities. Letters to the editor are an incredibly
powerful way to make sure our elected leaders get the message.

We are in DANGER of losing child care in Congress's economic package! Save
#ChildCareNow!
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Tell U.S. Senators to invest in affordable,
high-quality child care and Pre-K for our families through reconciliation!
Right now our U.S Senators are considering a child care proposal, led by
Senators Patty Murray of Washington State and Tim Kaine of Virginia, that
would help over 1 million new kids and families find and afford child
care, as well as help childcare workers.

taking these actions?

It is now being reported that in most states there is a 74% shortage of
infant formula, with some states experiencing a shocking 90% out-of-stock
rate for common formulas.
This is a crisis and we need Congress to take immediate action to ensure
parents can provide their babies with the nutrition they need now and that
this type of emergency doesn’t occur ever again.
[ [link removed] ]Sign our letter to Congress calling on them to take immediate action
to address the infant formula shortage and prevent future shortages from
happening!
