Because they are or know someone's who use Medicare & Medicaid. They have seen first hand how it is important and plays a vital part in people's lives. Without it people wouldn't be able to get the care and services they need to stay well and live a productive life and be there for their families.

Child care is the backbone of our economy—and it’s collapsing. Without it, parents can’t work, providers can’t survive, and children miss out on critical early learning. This isn’t just a family issue—it’s an economic emergency. If we don’t speak up, billionaires will get more tax breaks while families struggle to access care. That’s why we need everyone—parents, providers, grandparents, and allies—to join us. When we rise together, we can demand a system that truly supports our children and our communities. Decimating child care, preschool, early intervention, and Head Start budgets to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations only spells disaster for American families. Child care has long been unaffordable and unattainable for families, and new data just released from the Department of Labor shows that child care costs more than the median yearly cost of rent. According to recent studies, child care challenges cost the United States economy an estimated $122 billion a year. Supporting investments in high-quality child care and early learning programs can help offset this loss, generating up to $7.30 for every dollar invested

Already the Republican majority has failed on the promise of lowering prices, and now they want to take a hatchet to our wallets by making child care struggles even worse by decimating child care, preschool, early intervention and Head Start budgets in order to provide trillions of dollars in tax cuts to billionaires and wealthy corporations. Child care is already unaffordable and unattainable for families, and new data released from the Women’s Bureau at the Department of Labor shows that child care costs more than the median yearly rent for U.S. Families! Cutting funds to child care and Head Start to subsidize the rich is UNCONSCIONABLE. Sign our letter now to say NO to child care cuts! Sign

Republicans in Congress are pushing for massive tax breaks for the rich and think we should pay for them by cutting healthcare (and other critical programs) for those who can least afford it. Right now, Medicaid funding is on the chopping block at the federal level, putting 72 million seniors, children, low-income families, pregnant people, people with disabilities, young people newly in the workforce, and people across America at risk of losing healthcare coverage. [1] The thing is, a massive cut to Medicaid like this will not just impact healthcare, but entire state budgets! Medicaid makes up 30 percent of state budgets, meaning cuts to federal support would force Governors in both red and blue states to make impossible choices: slash healthcare for those who need it most or gut other essential programs to fill the gap. [2] Your voice is needed! Tell your governor to stand up against reckless cuts to Medicaid and protect healthcare for millions of seniors, children, low-income families, pregnant people, and people with disabilities.

We all benefit from a society where children are cared for, parents can work without panic, and providers aren’t forced to live in poverty. Right now, billionaires and private interests are trying to turn our child care crisis into a cash grab. They're not here to help families — they’re here to profit. “When care becomes a commodity, equity goes out the window.” That’s why I’m fighting for a system that puts people over profit — a system that guarantees every child the right to quality early learning and every caregiver the dignity of fair pay. Join me because: • You believe no parent should have to choose between a paycheck and their child’s wellbeing • You know care work is real work — and deserves real respect • You want a future where families thrive, not just survive This campaign isn’t about politics. It’s about values. And if you believe in justice, care, and community, there’s a place for you here. Let’s build it — together.

Our friends, neighbors, and family members are counting on us to protect Medicaid. We need your help to save it!

Why is It Important? SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is not just a safety net; it’s a vital lifeline for millions of Americans, including many individuals and families in Congressional District 6. Here are a few reasons why protecting and strengthening SNAP is crucial: 1. Combating Food Insecurity: Food insecurity affects one in eight households in Arizona, with many families relying on SNAP to ensure they can afford nutritious meals. Without SNAP, countless families would struggle to meet their basic needs, leading to increased hunger and malnutrition. 2. Supporting Families and Children: Approximately 60% of SNAP participants are families with children. Ensuring that children have access to adequate nutrition is essential for their physical and cognitive development, which directly impacts their ability to succeed in school and life. 3. Economic Impact: SNAP is a powerful economic driver. Every dollar spent on SNAP generates $1.50–$1.80 in economic activity. This means that protecting SNAP not only helps families but also strengthens local businesses and communities by increasing consumer spending. 4. Reducing Poverty: SNAP helps lift millions of Americans out of poverty. By providing necessary nutrition assistance, SNAP enables families to allocate their limited resources more effectively, allowing them to afford other essential expenses like housing and healthcare. 5. Promoting Health and Well-being: Access to adequate nutrition is crucial for maintaining health. SNAP helps individuals and families avoid health issues related to food insecurity, which can lead to higher healthcare costs and decreased productivity. Why Should Others Join the Campaign for Change? 1. Collective Action for a Common Cause: When individuals come together to advocate for SNAP, we amplify our voices and demonstrate to lawmakers that this issue matters to the community. Collective action creates a stronger impact and increases the likelihood of positive change. 2. Shared Responsibility: Food insecurity is a community issue that affects everyone. By supporting SNAP, we are taking a stand for our neighbors, friends, and families who may be struggling. When we advocate for policies that support the most vulnerable, we contribute to a more equitable society. 3. Economic Benefits for All: Strengthening SNAP is not just about helping those in need; it’s about enhancing the overall economy. More SNAP dollars mean more spending in local businesses, which can lead to job creation and economic growth. Everyone benefits when our community is thriving. 4. Protecting Our Values: Advocating for SNAP aligns with the values of compassion, community support, and social responsibility. By joining this campaign, individuals can show their commitment to helping those who are vulnerable and ensuring that everyone has access to basic necessities. 5. Empowering Change: Many people may not realize the significant impact SNAP has on our community. By raising awareness and mobilizing support, we can educate others and encourage them to join the fight for change. Every voice matters, and together, we can create a movement that makes a difference. By joining this campaign for SNAP, you are taking a stand for a fundamental right—the right to food security and dignity. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of families in Congressional District 6 and beyond. Let’s unite to protect and strengthen SNAP for a healthier, more prosperous community!

Anyone who has had to go to the one emergency room in Clarksville knows that it is overcrowded, poorly staffed, dirty, and has many other issues. It is also difficult to get to because it is so far away from any freeway exit.  Because the hospital has a monopoly in Clarksville, there is no reason for it to change.  Clarksville desperately needs other emergency room options and the new Ascension Saint Thomas would be an excellent addition to Clarksville.
