Dear Friend,
It's the last month of the year, and of the decade. Wow. While time may go
quickly, our movement to demand an economy that works for women and
families will have lasting, enduring impact. And it's built by the
individual actions of fired-up people like you. Please scroll down for our
latest list of top actions, and be sure you've added your name to all.
Once you do, share this list with family and friends. Thank you! =>
1. Call Your U.S. Representatives NOW To Tell Them: Support H.R. 3, the
Lower Drug Costs Now Act!
Your Action Status: NOT YET CALLED ->
[ [link removed] ]Call Now
BACKGROUND: In a recent survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation, about a
quarter of Americans said they’ve had trouble paying for a prescription. A
QUARTER! It doesn’t have to be this way. There are solutions and our
government can fix this. Thankfully, more and more people (across party
lines) support government action to help cut the cost of medications—so
now we have the momentum to make Congress take action! It’s a critical
time to make our voices heard as Congress is currently considering
legislation that would begin to lower prescription drug prices! [ [link removed] ]Call
your U.S. Representatives NOW to ask them to support H.R. 3, the Lower
Drug Costs Now Act!

2. SNAP Is Under Attack. Share why it matters to you and your family
Your Action Status: NOT YET SHARED ->
[ [link removed] ]Share Your Story
BACKGROUND: We will not stand by while President Trump attempts to take
food stamps away from struggling families in order to pay for tax cuts for
billionaires and big corporations. Personal stories are powerful and make
a huge difference in helping members of Congress understand why nutrition
programs are important to so many Americans. [ [link removed] ]Please tell us how SNAP
has helped you. After you share your story with us, we’ll share your
thoughts and experiences with key decision-makers.

3. Latina Equal Pay Day was *NOVEMBER* 20. Shocked? Sign your name now.
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. Absolutely unacceptable. 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!.

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!
