[ [link removed] ]Assault_Weapons_Ban_Vote

Tell U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that we need a Senate vote NOW on
banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines!

The University of Virginia. Club Q in Colorado Springs. The Walmart in
Chesapeake, Virginia. That’s three horrific and heart-breaking mass
shootings, one after the other in the space of days. We’re heartened that
President Biden has said he was “going to try to get rid of assault
weapons” during the upcoming lame-duck session, because military-style
semi-automatic assault rifles are the weapons of choice of the worst mass
murderers, and there’s no good reason for civilians to own guns and
high-capacity magazines designed for war. Banning assault weapons means we
need a U.S. Senate vote on it as soon as possible, without delay.

high-cap magazines and get every U.S. Senator on the record!

SEND QUICK LTE: Families are sick and tired

Not a single family with young kids has gone unscathed from this rampant
RSV, COVID, cold, and flu season. The combination of lack of paid sick
days and paid family & medical leave, our overstressed childcare system,
and general lack of policies that lift families has created a virulent
cocktail no one needed to cap off 2022.

Take a moment to write a letter to the editor now to send a strong and
swift signal to Congress (who often track these letters in local papers)
that their constituents are concerned about child care.

***We promise we’ve made it super easy & even have sample content for
you!***

that families need policies like paid sick days and permanent resources to
solve the child care crisis once and for all!

TELL CONGRESS: Invest in maternal mental health before the end of the year!

Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->

Congress will soon be going into recess but before they do we must demand
that our leaders include maternal mental health legislation in the
end-of-year funding priorities!

Maternal mental health disorders like postpartum depression are so common,
yet 1 in 5 women report NOT being screened for these disorders despite
universal screening being recommended. Historically inequities, including
lack of access to providers means that women of color face even greater
barriers to seeking treatment.

Now is the time to urge your Representative to enact critical maternal
mental health bills before Congress adjourns for the year.

legislation now!

Your gifts allow us to do some amazing things together, and nobody is
better than us at quickly adapting our tactics to meet the moment. Over
the last few months, we've worked together with you to get moms who don't
always vote to the polls and to move much-needed policy change.
Your actions - like signing petitions, writing letters to the editor, and
sharing your stories with us and lawmakers, have contributed to major
policy wins, like the temporary CTC expansion, which led to the largest
single year drop in child poverty in the history of our nation.

As you know, our work is far from done, and we need YOU with us for the
tough battles ahead.

TURBOCHARGE YOUR CONTRIBUTION — give now and a generous MomsRising donor
will match every dollar you give (up to an overall match limit of
$30,000)!

[ [link removed] ]Will you make a year-end gift to help us fuel and expand our programs
to change legislation and better our world?
