Tell Congress: No Cuts to Health Care and Child Care to Fund War — Stop the "Big, Ugly Bill 2.0"

April 13, 2026
The administration has released a 2027 budget proposal that threatens to slash funding for essential family programs like health care and child care. MomsRising is mobilizing to stop "Reconciliation 2.0" — a legislative process that would divert taxpayer dollars away from our communities to fund historic military increases and human rights abuses.

Tell Congress to Protect Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services — HCBS

April 6, 2026
This Medicaid Awareness Month, MomsRising is fighting to protect Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS). These essential services allow older adults and people with disabilities to live and age with dignity in their own homes rather than in costly institutions. With federal funding under attack, your voice is needed to tell Congress to safeguard this critical care infrastructure.

Reject the SAVE Act 2.0 — Protect Voting Rights and Passport Access for Married Women

February 17, 2026
Congress is fast-tracking the anti-voter SAVE Act 2.0, a bill that would require specific proof of citizenship documents that 21 million Americans currently lack.
