Call your Senator today re: MOTHER'S Act

TODAY (October 24th) is an important day. Today is the day devoted to trying to pass the MOTHER'S act through the senate. The MOTHER'S act will provide funding on a national level for Perinatal mood disorder screening and grants for research. It passed the house with only 3 no votes.

Please call your senators TODAY. I have included our senators' numbers and a script. Even if you don't call today, call tomorrow, or sometime.

Levin (D) 202-224-6221
Stabenow (D) 202-224-4822

Script:

I am (your name) from (Your town) and I am one of your constituents. I am calling to urge you to co-sponsor the very important MOTHER'S Act to provide for Postpartum Depression Screening, funding, and research.

[If you would like to tell about your friend Jenna Scott who has suffered from perinatal mood disorders three times over, I give you all the permission in the world to do so.]

Thank you,

(your Name)

This is so important...please help us make a difference for all families and mothers:)
