BACKGROUND:
While Trump’s GOP storm SCIFs endangering our national security and Trump lifts sanctions on Turkey giving Russia another win, our children are suffering at the hands of Trump and his administration.
1250 children were separated from their families at the border BEFORE Trump’s inhumane zero tolerance policy was enacted. Family separation is a traumatic experience that will cause lifelong damage to these children.
More than a million children have been dropped from Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP): “there is growing evidence that [Trump] administrative changes aimed at fighting fraud and waste — and rising fears of deportation in immigrant communities — are pushing large numbers of children out of the programs, and that many of them are now going without coverage.”
The Trump administration has proposed changes to food stamps that will cause nearly one million children to lose their automatic eligibility for free school lunches.
Our country and our children deserve better. Call our Members of Congress and insist they continue to press forward on the impeachment inquiry and investigate these attacks on our children. Then join Indivisible Oregon in election activities to vote in a new President. Our children are counting on us.
