HHS reverses mental health cuts after pushback
Health care advocates and members of Congress expressed opposition to the cuts after being told of them earlier this week.

1. Your voice still matters. Keep using it!
2. Whether the administration knows what it's doing or not, it sure seems like it doesn't know what it's doing
"Rep. Rosa DeLauro... attributed the reversal to ... Kennedy ... having "bowed to public pressure."

Rent Relief for Minneapolis School Families
By Mpls Families
From a friend who works at an MPS school with hundreds of families in hiding:
"The thing REALLY needed is money for rent/utilities/cell phone bills. It looks like there is a lot of money raised but across 5 schools itβs not enough with February rent coming due."
