Family Voices Indiana

We need your help in spreading the word about possible cuts to women, children, and families! The Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs, the National WIC Association, and the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association invite you to join us in an unprecedented National Mobilization for Women, Children and Families on October 26. Our goal is to flood Capitol Hill with a unified message opposing MCH and women’s health program cuts. FV Indiana recognizes that cuts to maternal and child health programs will impact our members, we encourage you join this effort and share your voice, Indiana’s congressional delegation (Senator Coats, Senator Lugar and your Congressman) needs to hear from you. In the next few weeks, Congress will be considering additional cuts to critical discretionary health programs for women, children and families that could exceed $1 billion in 2012 alone. Elected officials need to hear a clear message that these cuts are unacceptable. Sha
