[ [link removed] ]MomsRising presents: 5Actions
Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Sunday, February 12, 2023
This week’s #5Actions includes several critically important actions for
you to take where your voice is urgently needed – and closes with a recap
of the powerful State of the Union, when so many of our top policy
priorities were lifted in President Biden’s remarks. Our top policies were
highlighted in the State of the Union in no small part because YOU (and
we) have been persistently insisting that key policies like childcare,
paid family/medical leave, eldercare, fair pay stay in the spotlight and
get addressed.
Thank you.
Take a look below for quick ways to leverage your voice to help create
needed change.

Demand changes to policing and justice for Tyre Nichols!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
The recently released video footage of the vicious killing of Tyre Nichols
by Memphis police officers is terrifying to watch. What began as a traffic
stop on January 7th ended in the savage beating of the beloved father and
son at the hands of five police officers. It is time to reimagine public
safety and stand with other community members to demand substantive
changes to policing.We know we can build a movement for paradigm-shifting
investments in non-carceral, life-affirming safety approaches and we call
on the Memphis City Council to lead the way on making these changes.

Demand Justice for Kennan Anderson! LAPD Police Chief Michel Moore must go!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
On January 3, 2023, Keenan Anderson was murdered by the hands of the LAPD
for a nonviolent minor traffic violation. We are backing up local
organizers who say LAPD Chief Michel Moore has failed the people of Los
Angeles. He must go. Time and again, he has failed to hold cops
accountable or enforce de-escalation protocols on the street. As a result,
the LAPD disproportionately kills individuals who are Black and/or
suffering from mental health challenges.

Police Chief Michel Moore - sign our petition NOW.

Quick signature to lower drug prices!

No matter our race, place, or politics, most of us want similar things: to
make a good living, to care for our families, and to have the best chance
possible to be healthy. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was a good start
down the path to lowering prescription drug prices. It placed a $35 cap on
insulin for people 65 and over and for the first time allowed Medicare to
negotiate prices on a limited number of drugs each year.
But still far too many people with private insurance, or who are
uninsured, are struggling to afford life-sustaining and life-saving
medications. There’s much more work to be done. It is past time for
Congress to act to rein in high drug prices!

prices for all of us!

Quick signature: Tell Congress that everyone deserves to have health care
coverage!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Everyone, regardless of race, class, or zip code, deserves to have health
care coverage. Yet, there are still 11 states that have refused to expand
Medicaid to low-income adults under the Affordable Care Act. The majority
of the over 2 million people who are currently in this “coverage gap” are
people of color.
Closing the unfair coverage gap is important to help end discrimination in
health care coverage. The uninsured rates among Black and Latinx/Hispanic
adults remains disproportionately higher than that of white adults,
especially in these states.

P.S.– The 2023 State of the Union was proof that the powerful work we’re
doing is being noticed. We nearly covered our entire 2023 BINGO card, many
members of Congress proudly donned crayon pins in support of Child Care,
several MomsRising members attended with their members of Congress, and
Momsrising members were able to share their stories. Check out our video
recap [ [link removed] ]here, or for a more in depth account you can read the full
article [ [link removed] ]here. THANK YOU for being a powerful force!
