.@CobieSmulders recently met with NFP families and nurses in Los Angles and saw first hand the impact the #MIECHV program has for families and communities. Join her in asking Congress to extend and expand MIECHV before time runs out!
JFC @Philanthropy. I would like to propose some other articles, since you love both-siding injustice:
“Let’s stop fighting climate change and instead prepare people to survive an apocalyptic wasteland.”
“Gender pay inequity is inevitable. Let’s help women learn to be thrifty.”
“This ruling is allowing those in power to criminalize our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Without bodily autonomy, I cannot experience those rights.”

Yessssss girl!!! I am a graduate of the @NFP_nursefamily program from Texas too. Wouldn't be where I am today with my nurse. NFP is where it's at for first-time moms!!
@glory2glory_ @doscadenasx @NFP_nursefamily operates in 40 states and we're expanding eligibility for moms - you could still qualify if you're past 24 weeks pregnant! https://t.co/ydVd1mO6Xn
Why do I have the nagging feeling that things in Colorado counties are gonna get a tad* more complicated by week’s end?
