The #BigUglyBill makes billions in cruel cuts to the programs so many of our children & families cannot live w/o, including #Medicaid & SNAP. Instead, it spends billions on immigration raids & abductions that are terrorizing our communities. Where we spend our money reflects our values.

The federal budget bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives today is a travesty for the American people and for our children’s long-term health. It will hurt the #healthcare & stability of millions of families, while benefitting an elite class of ultra-wealthy individuals.

The time is NOW to call your House reps to tell them to vote NO on this unconscionable budget bill. Especially if you're in David Valadao's (CD 22) or Young Kim's (CD 40) districts. Let's protect Medi-Cal for our children and keep our families together!
You can still impact the US House vote on the Big, Ugly Bill that will harm children's health by cutting #Medicaid, SNAP nutrition assistance & more... all to give money to the rich & fund government kidnappings.

California, email your members of Congress! tinyurl.com/ActForKidsHe...

There is no justification for the fear and trauma these immigration actions are causing to reverberate through our immigrant families and communities. Family separation and the fear of detention and deportation affects our children in ways that will be felt for generations to come.

This May Revise misses California’s opportunity to lead the nation and stand firm in its values. Now is not the time to pull back.
CA’s #MayRevise Budget falls short.

It misses a critical chance to lead with our values.

As the federal government scapegoats immigrants & slashes support for vital programs, CA must stand up—not step back.

We urge @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to uplift & support California’s values by supporting the bills he signed into law. Bills that make CA a leader in creating safe places for #TransYouth. The health & well-being of trans children and all our children are at stake. #KidsHealth
Sports allow our kids to express themselves through movement & be part of a community. Sports are also linked to higher cognitive performance & mental health.

If allowed to stand, the order would force 24,500 children born in CA each year to live under threat of deportation and lose eligibility for federal benefits, including Medicaid & CHIP - the funding for which would also be at risk, harming child health equity for all. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...
