Beacon staff were in Washington, D.C. this week for the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association's Hill Day, meeting with congressional offices about the importance of the Title X program and the patients who depend on it.

Title X helps ensure people across Missouri and the country can access essential sexual and reproductive healthcare – including birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing, and more.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to lift up the voices of providers and patients and to advocate for the continued strength of this critical program. 💛

🚨 Missouri legislators are about to cut $51 MILLION from child care. This is not a small adjustment. It's a gut punch to families who are already on a waitlist just to get help. Children with disabilities. Kids in foster care. Families barely making it work. They all lose. We have 72 hours to flood the legislature with messages.
