You are invited to join a White House Regional Press Call, December 13th at 11:00 AM ET, to highlight the urgent need for Congress to fully fund the WIC program in 2024 or risk nutrition security for millions of women, infants, and children.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides nutrition assistance for nearly 6.7 million pregnant women, new mothers, babies, and young children across the country this month. Without funding, the welfare of millions of vulnerable Americans is at risk. New data from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities lays out the stakes in stark detail, including with state-by-state analysis.
Press Call Participants:
- Neera Tanden, Director of the Domestic Policy Council
- Xochitl Torres Small, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture
- Grace Hou, Illinois Deputy Governor for Health and Human Services
- Georgia Mitchell, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the National WIC Association
Materials and the contents of this call are embargoed until its conclusion. By participating, you are agreeing to these ground rules.
