To: Congress
Tell Congress to fund programs that boost families!
Dear Member of Congress,
The U.S. budget is a reflection of the country’s priorities and values. We ask that you build on President Biden’s FY2025 budget proposal and vote to support full and robust funding of programs that boost our children, families, businesses, and economy including:
- Care economy programs, including $500 billion for paid family and medical leave, $14.6 billion for pre-K and child care, and $150 billion in care for the aging and people with disabilities;
- Nutrition assistance, including fully funding WIC and SNAP;
- $16.48 billion for Head Start and $38 billion for K-12 education;
- Health care for families including robust funding for maternal health care and mental health care;
- Women's health research and innovation; and
- Protection for all reproductive health programs
Sincerely,

Why is this important?
We need more programs that support our families! Accessible mental health care is one issue that many families are struggling with now. We need more research for women's health issues, such as maternal health care, breast cancer, PMDD, and other gynecological issues.
