Keep funding war while babies go without? That’s a choice we can change. Families make our country strong. If we value children, our nation's spending should reflect investments in them, including child care. Tell Congress to invest in our families: bit.ly/47tFWi9

Yes, mental health includes babies. After losing her baby brother, Nelwyn's older sister Keeva developed PTSD. Nelwyn began to withdraw, too. They needed care. But support was hard to find. She’s one of many. Meet more babies. Hear their stories: bit.ly/3OkatrX #BelieveInBabies
