Kids rely on Medicaid for a healthy start. If $2.3 trillion is cut from Medicaid, millions would be at risk of losing access to early screening and detection. Our children and families can’t afford this! Take action with us ➡️

Poverty is not neglect! No family should get foster care when what they need is a little help. We hope the Senate will support H.R. 9076, which would expand prevention services and supports for families experiencing crises. Contact your Senator here:

New data from @MarchofDimes is in. The US received a D+ for preterm birth rates, with 10.4% of babies born prematurely in 2023. We know from experience that access to doulas and prenatal home visiting can help change this outcome. #BirthJustice
