📢 Honoring Mothers Means Fighting for Every Single Child
🗽Together, we can champion our rights, freedoms, rule of law, democracy, hold our leaders accountable to the people's will, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.
Happy Mother's Day weekend to everyone who nurtures, guides, and loves in that role! 💐
And a special shoutout to my fellow Catholics—how incredible to see an American pope who leads compassionately and is committed to uplifting every community member!
I want to speak to you today as a mom.
Our children are our future, and while we celebrate the great gift of being mothers (and all who fill that role), let us remember that the real gift—the one we must fight hardest to protect - is our children.
We are witnessing an assault on our families from the highest levels of power in this country. But this isn't just about families. This is an all-out attack on our little ones. We must recognize what's happening—and rise up to stop it. We must fiercely advocate for a world that uplifts our children, not abandoning or harming them.
Pro-Life in Name Only
There is nothing pro-life, and nothing extraordinary about America, if it means hurting our children.
Convicted 34-time felon President Donald Trump, his MAGA loyalists in Congress, and Christian nationalist extremists are hypocrites of the highest order. They say "pro-life," but their actions speak volumes. Just look at the harm they are inflicting on our children.

2. Dismantling USAID
In countries like Uganda, shuttered USAID clinics mean no access to school or healthcare. Children in impoverished countries are starving, and recent reporting shows that over 120,000 boxes of fortified peanut paste meant to fight malnutrition are about to expire as a result of Trump's policy choices to cut critical funding for their distribution.

6. Measles Outbreak
The ongoing measles outbreak in the U.S. has already led to multiple deaths, including two unvaccinated children in Texas, as cases surge past 1,000 nationwide This outbreak highlights the urgent need to protect kids through strong public health policies and widespread vaccination programs, which the Trump administration is undermining.

6. Defunding Educational Programming
By slashing grants and defunding agencies, there is an increase in harm to our children, especially in poor and rural communities. Programs like PBS Kids face elimination because their Ready To Learn grant, which is nonpartisan, is being defunded. (Source: The Daily Beast)
Defend Our Kids, Defend Our Future
The term "pro-life" rings hollow when every policy systematically harms the children they claim to protect. From healthcare and hunger to education and safety, Trump and Republicans in Congress’s 2025 agenda exposes a brutal truth: they don't care about children once they are born.
To the People Power United community, this is our call to action.
As we honor mothers, let us also celebrate our children. We must keep them front and center in every demand we make, every action we take, and every vision we share for a better world.
Let's champion policies that nourish their bodies, expand their minds, and protect their spirits. Let's reject cruelty disguised as "morality." Let's build a future rooted in love, equity, and opportunity—not just for some, but for every child.
Because honoring motherhood means fighting for the world our children deserve.
This is our country. This is our fight. And we will not back down. Join us!

This was an excellent Mother’s Day message. I wish that all Americans, including Republicans in government, would read this. It proves what we all have been saying, they are Pro Life only for the unborn. They do not care what happens to the children after they are born! If they did, they would not only keep those programs in the budget, but they would increase the budgets for them.
