In 2010, 1,600 low-income women lost access to prenatal care through Medicaid, leaving them without the critical care that would help their baby be born as healthy as possible. With your help, we can restore this coverage through LB 599.
Help make healthy babies a priority this session
There are two opportunities to make your voice heard:
Press Conference
When: Tuesday, February 7, 2012
12:00 pm (Gather at 11:45am)
Where: Rotunda, Nebraska Capitol
Following the press conference, we will stop by legislators’ offices to urge them to prioritize healthy babies.
Vigil
When: Saturday, February 11, 2012
1:00 pm
Where: Christ United Methodist Church
Fellowship Hall, 45th and A Street, Lincoln
Can’t make it? Call your State Senator. Tell them to support LB 599 and make healthy babies a priority this session.
Share with your friends and families. Nebraska’s babies need all of our voices!
