Support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
Frontline workers are most impacted by pregnancy discrimination. Overrepresented in physically demanding jobs, women of color and immigrant women are especially impacted by employers refusing to accommodate pregnant workers with medical needs. Tell your Senators to PASS the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act without delay!
Support the Women’s Health Protection Act
Tell the Senate: Vote YES on the Women’s Health Protection Act. This critical legislation would protect the right to abortion throughout the United States and guard against the dangerous abortion bans and medically unnecessary abortion restrictions being pushed forward by state politicians.
Paid Leave for All
Contact your senators and representatives today and tell them to reinstate emergency paid leave and pass permanent paid family and medical leave so that families and businesses have the support they need—and so we’re never unprepared for a crisis again.
