An absolute privilege to be part of the #MessageInABabyBottle team today representing Institute for Child Success - and an extra joy to bring my 8yo and teach him that all voices deserve to be heard in the halls of power.
Investing in young children WORKS, today and well into our future.
Today we told Congress:
🚨 41 percent of births are covered by Medicaid
🚨 One in three families with kids under five are food insecure

Medicaid matters. Extending postpartum coverage to 12 months gave families a lifeline. Now Congress may cut that progress short. Join Rachell and baby Nazaire. Tell Congress to protect Medicaid: bit.ly/437zla0

If a baby could send Congress a #MessageinaBabyBottle, it would say:
🍼 “Protect my health.”
🍼 “Support my mom’s mental health.”
🍼 “Help my family stay fed.”
Cuts to Medicaid and SNAP hurt families. This May, the message is clear: Babies can't wait.
