“As Mother’s Day approaches, we know that all our moms deserve much more financial, emotional, and physical support. Children are blessings, who model for us what it means to follow Jesus and help all of us see Christ’s love for the world.
Yet Congress is currently considering cutting the funding it provides for children and new parents. Cutting this funding would reduce assistance that helps children in families with low incomes get enough to eat, see a doctor when they are sick, and meet their basic needs and thrive. This assistance is essential for our children’s health and wellbeing.
Moms deserve to not have to worry about if they will be able to afford their child’s healthcare, or if they will be able to provide them with a filling meal. Yet in one of the richest countries in the world, our Congress is making these cuts to programs supporting children to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Tell Congress NO MORE sacrificing our moms and kids to line the pockets of the rich.” – UCC
