Lift the Cap is in the Budget for FY 2019!

Greetings!

The House consolidated amendment on Veterans and Social Services released this afternoon includes language that will  repeal the welfare family cap effective 7/1/19 ! The House then voted unanimously to adopt the consolidated amendment.
 
This is a  huge victory ! It is very important that we convey our appreciation to our many supporters in the House!   Please call, e-mail, tweet thanks, or re-tweet the thanks  from @LiftCapOnKidsMA to:

· Assistant Majority Leader Byron Rushing
· Chairwoman Kay Khan
·And any of our 87 co-sponsors listed here below my signature
 
 
Many, many thanks to all of you who contacted Representatives about co-sponsoring and voicing support for the amendment! Stay tuned for the Senate budget next month.

Call your Representative and thank them today!

Thank you for your advocacy,
