You don’t need to be an expert.
You don’t need the perfect words.
You just need your story.

It’s time to stand up for babies.

Senators Lankford and Mullin: as #strollingthunder @zerotothree.bsky.social mom Dena Drabek explains:

“There’s nothing beautiful about a policy that takes health care away from sick kids.”

Warwick working mom heads to DC for #StrollingThunder to lobby lawmakers to fund child care, establish national paid family leave, and permanently expand the child tax credit. By @Ashley__Murray

Parents tote toddlers to D.C. to press for expanded child tax credit, child care funds • Rhode Island Current
Families gathered outside the U.S. Capitol Tuesday to “make a fuss for babies,” who they believe are being left behind by lawmakers who direct only a fraction of U.S. resources to young children.
