We’re weeks away from Thanksgiving, but for 10% of America’s kids, food insecurity could rob them of a delicious meal — and many more.

And we're told adoptions are confidential and our *own* birth records are state secrets.

The House may have passed a new CR but in their rush to beat the shutdown clock they didn’t include supplemental WIC funding. Read more in @ChildDefender’s blog about why pregnant and postpartum people, babies, and young kids need WIC to be funded. https://t.co/Su1K1AWP7C

America is the wealthiest nation on earth, yet our children hold LUNCH DEBT.

LUNCH DEBT!

Meanwhile, we can fund wars, no problem.

There’s a big problem with that.

A wonderful blog co-authored by my amazing colleagues @LaShawndaKilgor & @Mhorshin!

📈 With a growing caseload, we must prioritize #WIC funding to ensure that ALL families who are eligible can receive the healthy foods and resources they need. #FundWIC

#WIC feeds over 5 million women and children. But it's now at risk of funding cuts! Text FundWIC to 888-418-5699 to tell your Senator to protect and #FundWIC! Then sign @MomsRising’s petition calling on Congress to fully fund WIC: https://t.co/FQsdpelwii

[Children's Defense Fund @ChildDefender]

#WIC is at risk of having funding slashed. This would lead to massive wait lists and cuts to a program that feeds MILLIONS of families. Connect with your Senator and tell them to #FundWIC and invest in families! https://t.co/couRbpgNfj

High school graduation required to get your own birth certificate. Plus, redaction of the information on it. #adopteetwitter

Who says adopted people are not treated as perpetual children?

[Rachel B. @racheleboyer]

@_love_supreme They finally got it right!

[Adoptee Rights Law @adopteelaw]

Poof! Starting today, all Massachusetts-born adopted people have a right to obtain their own preadoption birth records, no donut holes, no muss. Here's how it works and how to apply. https://t.co/bRpSTfta6I

“The primary voice I always heard about adoption growing up was a really Christian narrative with a nice, happy storyline,” Tatyana Russell-Chipp, 25, told Religion News Service. “I really believe Adoptee Remembrance Day is a key day for adoptees to get our voice back.”

[Adoptee Rights Law @adopteelaw]

Another solid news story from @kathrynmaepost, who does a great job bringing necessary context to adoption. https://t.co/ROWTStBAeP
