16 12 Laser Talk: Making that Reach Act Cosponsorship Request of Your Members of Congress Amy Kazanegras, Global Expansion Associate

17 13 Laser Talk: Holidays and the Reach Act Engage the audience: Thanksgiving and the upcoming winter holidays give us cause for reflecton. Personally, I m thankful that my family and I have access to healthcare. State the problem: But I m also aware that, around the globe, babies and kids die too oyen due to preventable infecton, poor nutriton, or the lack of a basic vaccinaton. Today 11 children under age 5 stll die of preventable causes each minute. Inform on the soluton: The good news is that needless child deaths have gone down, and we now have an opportunity to accelerate progress. The Reach Every Mother and Child Act, S and H.R. 3706, are bipartsan bills that will intensify our work with partner countries. The ultmate goal is to end unnecessary maternal and child deaths by Call to acton: I know the RepresentaTve/Senator cares about kids and families. Can I count on him/her to cosponsor the Reach Act and to encourage at least one colleague from across the aisle to do the same?
