Dear Friend,
It's a big week! The impeachment trial began in the U.S. Senate, and
thousands of people are once again taking to the streets for the 2020
Women's March. We--the people--have fueled all of this. We are the engines
of our democracy, and the force that continues to demand and win change at
the local and national levels. Thank you for continuing to speak out about
issues that matter to women and families. We are proud to keep marching
with you.

important items around impeachment, gun safety, Medicaid, and more. Please

3. Tell Congress: The Child Care Crisis is Squeezing Families Too Tight!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: A study released by Freddie Mac just last month found that
child care costs have grown by almost 50% in the last 25 years. Costs are
equaling about half of the national medium mortgage payment (you read that
right - MORTGAGE PAYMENTS!) and the study argues that for millennial
families, it's a bigger barrier to buying a home than student loan debt!
With news like this, it's no surprise that child care took center stage in
the last presidential debate. But families need more than talk. We are
experiencing a child care crisis and we need big solutions that work for
kids, families, early childhood professionals, and our economy.
Thankfully, that solution is already here. The Child Care for Working
Families Act provides a comprehensive solution that would expand access to
affordable, high-quality childcare and pre-K for families while improving
compensation and training for the childcare workforce. [ [link removed] ]Tell your
members of Congress to stand up for working families and co-sponsor and
support the Child Care for Working Families Act today!

4. #BusinessMustAct for Gun Safety
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
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.
It’s time for large American employers to also take responsibility for the
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!

5. 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)!
