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?
President Biden has listened to the voices of moms and families and is planning to make major positive investments in his FY2025 budget including: child care, paid family and medical leave, the Child Tax Credit, maternal health programs, and mental health care, and other programs to give families the tools they need to work and thrive. These policies will also lift the economy. Now we need the U.S. Congress to take action!
