Beauty Within Teen Esteem Tee Shirts |
We just launched a new t-shirt design!
Our fight for children's health continues as we push for the passage to extend CHIP by Senator Feinstein -- a bill that would fully reinstate the protections that were repealed by Trump. The bill just passed out of the Senate Committee, despite Big lobbying to weaken or kill it. We have momentum on our side, but with lobbyists doing everything they can to stop the bill, we can't take anything for granted.
But we’re not stopping there. We’re also making sure that more legislators get elected who will stand up for California values -- which includes healthcare for our children.
We have six designs to choose from, and more will be launching soon. Keep an eye on our social medai for new t-shirts and more ways to get involved!
The historically strong bipartisan support for CHIP continues with a commitment to a strong five year extension of CHIP, but politics, other priorities and disagreements over pay-fors have kept Congress from moving forward on CHIP. As a result, agencies and families are truly in crisis mode as states are being forced to use dwindling dollars to plan to shut down their programs and families just at holiday time are being warned they might lose the health care their children depend on to survive and thrive.
Congress must move CHIP forward now. Nine million children, pregnant women, their families and communities are depending on it.
Yours in the fight,
Eric, along with Ann, Caitlin, Emma, Lindsay, and William (the bwte team)
