Dear Friend,
Need a change from the drip drip of bad news coming out of DC? Drum roll
please... We are excited to share some fantastic, spectacular, very good
news with you! Yesterday, in response to your continuing calls to
strengthen the nation’s care infrastructure, President Biden announced the
most sweeping set of executive actions to improve care that we’ve ever
seen (and in recorded history)! Woot!
Proving the power of your voice, and our movement together, our very own
MomsRising Executive Director was invited by the White House to stand by
President Biden’s side as he signed the Care Executive Order. [ [link removed] ] Your
voice, your persistence is powerful. Thank you!
[1]*Now, let’s keep up the MOMentum for child care, elder and disability
care, paid family and medical leave, and a strong care infrastructure by
thanking President Biden for these executive actions and urging Congress
to finish the job!
What’s the good news?
Yesterday, the Biden/Harris administration issued a bold, transformative,
and badly needed Executive Order to improve our nation’s care
infrastructure. At a time when millions of families cannot access or
afford the child care, elder care, and/or disability care we need, these
measures will support moms, family caregivers, care workers, businesses,
communities, and our economy. The Executive Order puts the full weight of
our federal government behind solutions to some of the most debilitating
problems of our time.
That’s not all! It will also help address the child care crisis that has
driven so many moms out of the workforce. It will provide some of the
support family caregivers urgently need. And it will take steps toward
ensuring that early educators, long-term care and domestic workers – who
are mostly women of color and immigrant women doing vitally important work
– are paid the fair, family-sustaining wages and benefits they deserve and
that allow them to stay in this field.
All told, this Executive Order [ [link removed] ] is a major and significant step
forward, and now America’s moms, families and businesses call on Congress
to follow the Biden Administration’s lead by immediately: passing
comprehensive paid family and medical leave that covers all working
people; making serious investments in comprehensive, high-quality,
affordable child and aging/disability care; rooting out wage
discrimination of all kinds; ensuring all care workers have a pathway to
citizenship; and raising the minimum wage.
[2]*Sign on now to thank President Biden for his Executive Order and to
urge your members of Congress to immediately take action to strengthen our
care infrastructure too!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, too for this amazing victory! Together,
we are powerful!
