[ [link removed] ]5 Actions
Dear Friend,
Happy New Year! We hope you had time to relax and recharge a bit this
holiday season because 2020 is going to be a really big year. Thanks to
all of you, we are a force that spoke out hundreds of thousands of times
in 2019 to help win on issues affecting women and families. And we're
fired up to do even more this new year! Check out our inspiring new video
below, Why I Rise, to get those excited juices flowing. Here we come,
2020!
We're kicking things off with our first list of top 5 Actions of the new
year, featuring important items around impeachment, gun safety, Medicaid,
taxes, and more. Please scroll down, make sure you've signed them all, and
share with family and friends. Thank you for all you do! Here's the list
-->
1. #BusinessMustAct for Gun Safety
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->

BACKGROUND: Americans are grappling with the consequences of gun violence
every day, yet our government has failed to pass legislation to protect
our loved ones and communities. It’s time to also look to large American
employers to take responsibility for their workers, customers, and
communities, and do everything they can to keep us safe from the estimated
393 million firearms in civilian hands. We are demanding that America’s
businesses:
1) Prevent customers from bringing guns into their stores;
2) End political donations to lawmakers who stand in the way of gun
reform; and
3) Invest in community-driven gun violence intervention programs.

gun safety of their workers, customers, and communities, and do everything
they can to keep us safe from the estimated 393 million firearms in
civilian hands. [ [link removed] ]Add your name now!

2. Quick Signature: Tell your U.S. Senators to conduct a fair and complete
impeachment trial!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: We need to push the U.S. Senate to keep the impeachment
process moving forward with a fair impeachment trial that includes
witnesses and documents. America’s moms are counting on Senate leaders to
protect our democracy by putting patriotism ahead of party. [ [link removed] ]Add your

3. Demand Expansion of Medicaid To Save Pregnant and Postpartum People!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: Maternal deaths and serious complications during pregnancy and
childbirth have been rising in the United States — particularly for women
of color and especially for Black women. Expanding Medicaid can help
address this crisis by playing a critical role in ensuring continuous
health insurance coverage, which plays a vital role in keeping women
healthy during and after pregnancy. Post delivery — the first 100 days
after birth, often referred to as the fourth trimester — is an especially
critical time for women to have access to health care because it is when
most complications occur. Unfortunately, many women lack consistent
insurance coverage. Medicaid eligibility levels for pregnant women vary
across states and coverage ends 60 days after birth, putting the lives and
health of many new moms in jeopardy. [ [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)!

5. Join Us for a #TaxChat Before the Democratic Debate Next Tuesday
January 14th!
BACKGROUND: Join @MomsRising in a pre-debate #TaxChat Tweetchat with
guests @4TaxFairness, @NETWORKLobby, @TaxMarch, and @Amy_Matsui and
@MBoteach from National Women’s Law Center on Tuesday, January 14th at
8pmET/5pmPT. We’ll be discussing ways our communities are harmed by the
current tax system, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and ways we can
fix our tax policies so they lift up women, communities of color, and
working families rather than the 1% and Wall Street. Join us in this
important conversation about progressive tax policies. We will be using
#TaxChat as our hashtag.
