Happy New Year!
I hate to jump right into it, but our families’ healthcare security is at risk! The U.S. Congress is back on Capitol Hill this week and some Senators are already talking about moving ahead with plans to roll back advances in healthcare coverage and gut current healthcare programs—outrageous!
We need YOU to speak out NOW!
On Thursday we’ll be officially announcing our Week of Action coming up January 9-12th where moms and dads across the country will be visiting their members of Congress to voice their concerns about access to quality, affordable healthcare for their families!
We are starting these activities in Washington, D.C. (where we hope you will join us!) and moving across the country. On Thursday, we deliver our collection of personal healthcare experiences of moms and dads around the country to educate leaders about how programs like the ACA, Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP are critical to families.
It’s so important that we have moms, dads, kids, and concerned people on the Hill to tell their own stories and represent the millions of families that could be harmed by the loss of these critical programs.
Here are the details:
Who: Moms, dads, kids, and concerned people….anyone who thinks its important to speak out for quality, affordable healthcare coverage! (Kids of all ages are welcome)
When: Thursday, January 5th at 10:15am
Where: In front of the HUGE black mountain sculpture in the lobby of the Hart Senate Office Building (Constitution Ave. between 1st and 2nd NE)
Please wear your MomsRising t-shirt if you have one and feel free to invite friends, families, or neighbors….the more the merrier!!
We don’t want politics to come before our family’s—and our community’s—health. Healthcare is a lifesaver for families. We must ensure families do not lose access to quality and affordable healthcare! Sharing stories about how the ACA, Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP have helped families can help key lawmakers understand why repealing or weakening these critical healthcare programs is reckless and dangerous for America’s families. And having you available on Capitol Hill to represent the one million MomsRising members from around the country who care deeply about this issue is a major help!
Don’t forget to RSVP for our healthcare event on Capitol Hill this Thursday!!!
Looking forward to seeing you on Capitol Hill!
