Congress wants to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid, but rushed, reckless spending cuts like this will have serious consequences – and many children will lose the care they count on. Take action with us today ➡️ bit.ly/3Q5hZo2 #SaveMedicaid

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 ➡️ parentsasteachers.org/policy-advocac…

We're so happy to see Protecting America’s Children by Strengthening Families Act (H.R. 9076) is now law! The best place for children is with their families and these policies help ensure families have the best chance to be successful so that children can remain in their homes.

We hope you enjoy a joyful and restful holiday season with your loved ones. To this end, Parents as Teachers National Center will be closed for the holidays. Thank you for being part of our community, and we look forward to serving you in the new year! Happy Holidays! ✨

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: bit.ly/4fX6wC5

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 bit.ly/3ZHlkzs

📣 An important child welfare law will expire at the end of this year unless the U.S. Senate approves H.R. 9076. We hope the Senate will support these responsible reforms for children and families. Join our call to action here: bit.ly/4fX6wC5

"Children do not vote, so it is easy to deprioritize their needs. But adults in their families do, and many of them hope Donald Trump and the Republican party can reduce financial burdens so that they can comfortably raise children." bit.ly/3OAOoCt

21,000 families will face a holiday season forever changed by the unexpected loss of their much wanted, deeply loved baby. We MUST do better! The opportunity for lasting change is HERE and NOW. Please pass the #SHINEforAutumnAct! @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems @SenateGOP

Paid sick time makes a big difference for the health of children and those who take care of them. Bravo to voters in AK, NE, and MO for their recognition of this at last month's elections! bit.ly/49oGhT8
