Dear Friend,
We moms shouldn’t have to hold the nation together on empty.
Yet here we are in the middle of a government shutdown that has thrown families into chaos. SNAP benefits are being cut; air traffic controllers, military school teachers, families in several states are losing child care as Head Start centers start to close; and other federal employees are facing another missed paycheck (while still showing up every day, keeping our country running!). WIC is barely hanging on by thread, and rising costs are pushing families past the brink.
We’re holding our communities and workplaces together, and once again, we're holding the nation together, while the resources families need are stalled because Republican leaders in Washington, DC won’t come to the negotiating table! So we have some resources to share with you and that YOU can share with others:
-> Know someone who’s struggling right now? No one should face this alone. Click to view and then SHARE our post with helpful resources RIGHT NOW on Facebook.
Not on Facebook or not logged in? That’s okay!
You can still help by forwarding this e-mail to a friend or sharing our blog post about these resources on social networks (including Facebook), via text, e-mail or whatever works best for you - just copy and paste the following link:

Every day, moms and caregivers are making miracles out of scarcity. Stretching meals. Working double shifts. Holding everything and everyone together, often without the care, rest, or support they deserve.
Moms shouldn’t have to hold the nation together on empty.
We see your strength. We see your exhaustion. And we know that love shouldn’t have to come with this kind of struggle.
While the Trump Administration continues to play politics with families' livelihoods, we want to make sure you have support right now while we keep up the fight.
-> We rise by lifting each other. Share these resources so more families can find the care they deserve. Not on Facebook? No problem! You can still make a difference by forwarding this e-mail to a friend or sharing our blog post. Here's the link to copy and paste:

Here are the resources that we want to share with you and anyone else who may need them.
You are not alone. You are not invisible. And you should never have to carry this weight without care and community surrounding you.
We see you. We’re with you.
-> Community care starts with us! View and share our facebook post or our blog post so more families can find the help they deserve - or just forward this e-mail to a friend! Here's the link to the blog post that you can copy and paste:
