What’s that sound? It’s the sound of moms, dads, and little kids storming Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. with your healthcare stories and our super powers!

Moms from around the country are in D.C. right now, with their little kids dressed as superheroes, delivering your messages directly to the U.S. Senate to let them know that Medicaid does wonders for our kids, families, and economy. And even though you can’t be there in-person, we need you to help back us up with a call to your U.S. Senators to let them know to be on the look out for your stories, messages, and our little superheroes.

**Call your U.S. Senators NOW and tell them that MomsRising is on Capitol Hill today delivering your Medicaid stories and messages. Tell them they should be on the lookout for us and urge them to protect Medicaid!!

Call 1-888-496-4842 and we’ll quickly walk you through the process and connect you with your U.S. Senator.  (It just takes a couple of minutes).

Here’s what’s going on: Today in Washington, D.C. MomsRising is joining our super forces with partner organizations to speak out and tell the stories about why Medicaid and quality, affordable healthcare is important to our families and economy.

We are in D.C. at the perfect time because as we speak major negotiations about healthcare are happening on the Hill---but in secret.  U.S. Senate Republicans are writing a bill that will repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) but they are doing it in secret, will not hold any hearings, and are refusing to release the details of their bill to the public, even keeping it from their own colleagues in the U.S. Senate.

We need you now more than ever!! We need you to join in the effort virtually so you can tell your U.S. Senators to be one the lookout for us and also share why Medicaid and healthcare is so important to the health of millions of families.

It will take all our super powers to break through the politics and rhetoric on these important issues, which is why we need you to use your superpowers (via a quick phone call) to tell your U.S. Senators how much this issue matters to you and your family.

Can you make a super quick, super important phone call to your U.S. Senator and tell her/him that MomsRising is on the Hill today delivering your stories and messages and that they should be on the look out for us!?

Call 1-888-496-4842!

Thank you so much for backing us up and being a super force for our families’ healthcare!
