Dear Friend,
It has been an historic week. Thank you to all who joined our call
demanding that the U.S. Congress protect our elections and our democracy
by holding President Trump accountable for his abuse of power and his
undeniable obstruction of the congressional investigation. Read our
[ [link removed] ]press release on impeachment here.
As the holiday season kicks into full gear we also want to take a moment
to thank you for all you have done this year to speak out for parents,
families, our democracy, and more. Moments like these are important ones
to look back at all we've done, and hopefully rest and recharge a bit for
the new year to come.
We're sharing our final list of top actions for the year below. Please
scroll down and be sure you've added your name to all. Once you do, share
this list with family and friends. Thank you, happy holidays, happy new
year, and we will see you in 2020! =>
1. Stop the Trump Administration from Legalizing Discrimination!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: The Trump Administration's Department of Health & Human
Services (HHS) released a proposed rule that would make it legal for
HHS-funded agencies and programs to discriminate against women, religious
minorities, nonreligious people, and LGBTQ+ people. It’s critical that we
all take a minute to reject this proposed rule because it’s just that – a
proposal – that we can defeat if we all urge HHS to renounce it. [ [link removed] ]ADD
YOUR NAME >>> Oppose the proposed rule that would create a license to
discriminate using taxpayer funds!

2. Demand Expansion of Medicaid To Save Pregnant and Postpartum People!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: With about half the births in the United States currently
covered by Medicaid, expanding Medicaid is a key part of the solution to
our nation’s maternal health crisis. The Helping Medicaid Offer Maternity
Services Act of 2019 (H.R.4996), aka the Helping MOMS Act, would
incentivize state-level Medicaid extension to the entire postpartum period
and invest in maternal-specific public health. Currently, the majority of
pregnancy-related deaths in America happen after the day of delivery, and
nearly one-quarter of deaths happen more than six weeks
postpartum. [ [link removed] ]Sign on now to tell your members of Congress to support
the Helping Medicaid Offer Maternity Services Act of 2019 (H.R.4996)!

4. Tell Congress: Don't be frosty! Put an end to this chilling child care
crisis!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: The struggle is real when it comes to finding high-quality,
affordable early learning opportunities for our little ones. Childcare and
pre-K costs are sky high—in fact, in 30 states and the District of
Columbia, infant care costs exceed the average cost of college tuition.
Approximately half of American families live in a “childcare desert,”
meaning they can’t access the quality childcare they need. And early
learning providers, 94% of whom are women, are struggling significantly
since childcare is one of the lowest paying industries in the United
States. We need real solutions to this national crisis, which is why we
are asking leaders to stand up for our littlest learners, working
families, child care providers, and our economy by supporting the Child
Care for Working Families Act. [ [link removed] ]Add your name now.

5. 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.
