TELL CONGRESS: Don’t Shut Down the Government

A government shutdown is looming on Saturday at midnight unless Congress finds a pathway forward to fund the government.

We need your help. Contact your members of Congress today to urge action to avert a shutdown, which would have both immediate and longer-term impacts on critical government assistance programs like WIC, SNAP and school meals, and put millions of new moms, children and families at risk of hunger and hardship.

Avoid a Shutdown for Millions of Moms and Kids

Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

A government shutdown would have immediate and longer-term impacts on critical government assistance programs, including WIC, SNAP and school meals.

If the government shuts down, nearly 7 million moms and children will almost immediately lose access to the vital nutrition services provided by WIC.

I urge you to find bipartisan consensus on a continuing resolution that would avoid a shutdown and protect millions of moms, children and families from hunger and hardship.

Sincerely,
