@CaseyStockstill @rachelhills combo feeding worked so well for us, but I had to do a lot of guesswork. When I desperately asked our doula about formula, all they could say is that we should sterilize it (which we didn't do).

My name is xxxx and I'm a Colorado voter. I’m calling as a (parent) in (city) to see if (elected officials) is aware of the formula shortage that has Colorado families struggling, and to ask them to join the efforts to address this issue nationally.

Infant formula has been crucial for my family and my baby. I'm thankful that @bobbiebabyco has been able to continue sending us formula, but I also know that they haven't been able to accept new customers! Families are struggling.

[Jessica Garrick @jess_garrick]

When I called my elected officials 2/3 of them seemed unaware of the issue! This is about families being able to feed their babies. Please call your elected official ASAP. I'm sharing a brief script below.

@RepDianaDeGette @SenatorBennet @SenatorHick Colorado families are struggling with the formula shortage! Please join the calls for a solution!

I bet the situation isn't getting urgent attention because the shortage reads like a Woman’s Problem. As @jiatolentino recently wrote, “the further you are from essential labor, the easier it is to forget, or never grasp, the worth and honor in that work.” https://t.co/ZNsBgDTyyM

Asked a handful of senators tonight if they’re concerned about the baby formula shortage. They had no idea what I was talking about.

@MomsRising @KatieHauschildt @marybogus @sarahparady can my friends with many more followers than me retweet? :)

[Jessica Garrick @jess_garrick]

@MomsRising Most of the media coverage on the formula shortage is about helping individual parents to find substitutes for their usual brands rather than advocacy. What can we do to make this urgent issue a national priority?

[Jessica Garrick @jess_garrick]

As a newcomer to Dallas, I really appreciate @psimek 's coverage of public transit issues in North Texas. Are there local activist groups advocating for better public transit that we could donate to this giving Tuesday?

Well, looks like I can't get to ASA this year - flight from Denver on @SouthwestAir was cancelled, and they can't get me on another flight until Monday. It's been a very confusing and upsetting morning :( Hopefully next year @ASAnews
