Kids Forward

Today the WI Senate took 1 step fwd & 1 step back. AB759 passed, which allows DACA recipients to get professional licenses. Unfortunately, AB24 also passed, which forces local law enforcement to work w/ICE. We urge @GovEvers to veto this bill: kidsforward.org/a-step-forward….

Tomorrow, Tue 3/3, 10:30 a.m., the Senate Committee on Government Operations, Labor, and Economic Development will hold a public hearing. This is an important opportunity to show support and keep the momentum going. 📞 Call your Senator 📧 Send an email 📢 Share this post

Victory in Assembly for WI DACA Recipients! AB759 would allow DACA recipients to apply for & receive pro/occupational licenses - crucial for immigrant young people/families. Contact your State Senators & let them know how important this is.

Today, the Wisconsin state assembly voted to ensure that new moms on Medicaid have health insurance for a year after giving birth, instead of the current 60 days. Wisconsin will soon become the 49th state to extend postpartum coverage for one year: kidsforward.org/wisconsin-legi…

We're still glowing from this weekend's halftime show. Our team, and our country, really needed it right now. ❤️ A few words on what it meant to one of our teammates 👉🏽

Tell Your Members of Congress: Act NOW to rein in ICE ➡️Call Your Senator: indivisible.org/ice-out-senate ➡️Call Your Representative: indivisible.org/ice-out-house ➡️Email Your Member of Congress: moveon.org/IceOutLetter #ICEOutforGood #Minnesota

ICE and Border Patrol are storming our streets and harassing and detaining people without due process based on the color of their skin, their language or accent, or where they live. The violence will only continue to escalate if we don’t stand up to ICE together.

We've been quiet this month, but for good reason! Our team is spending the month dreaming big, reimagining Wisconsin, and planning for the year to come. If you're trying to reach us, we may be slow to respond, but we can't wait to connect with you soon!

***re-sharing this post bc, well, here we still are.*** 🍎Last month, Congress voted to end gov't shutdown & temporarily restore SNAP/Foodshare - we're grateful for it. 🩺 BUT, health care is still about to skyrocket on Jan 1 if Congress doesn't act: kidsforward.org/extending-the-…

Rep Vos has again blocked WI post-partum Medicaid extension, which would ensure new moms on Medicaid have health ins for a yr after giving birth, instead of the current 60 days. This is harmful & shortsighted. Literally everyone & their mama supports it: kidsforward.org/literally-ever…

The bare minimum is a start, but it's not enough. Full thread 👇

The bare minimum isn’t enough. The Trump Administration should be using its legal authority to quickly transfer additional funds to deliver full November nutrition assistance.

Menasha, Wis. - Local food pantries & community orgs are preparing for a surge in demand as the federal gov't shutdown continues, putting critical nutrition assistance at risk for more than 33,000 people in the Fox Valley & 700,000 residents across WI: kidsforward.org/local-food-pan…

There's so much going on with SNAP - it's hard to keep track. As of right now, here's the big picture of what's going on. Learn more & take action on the shutdown here: kidsforward.org/the-federal-go…

The deeply harmful megabill, passed back in July, takes away groceries from those that need it most. To meet all the new red tape created by the megabill, state leaders need to get these new requirements up and running ASAP to avoid huge fines or worse: kidsforward.org/wisconsin-chil…

How much more will YOU pay for health insurance in Jan? If Congress doesn’t renew the ACA tax credits for folks who get insurance thru healthcare.gov, it’s about to get a LOT more expensive. How expensive? Swipe through -> Contact your reps: lnkd.in/g2cdZWjJ
