Dear Friend,
Last week we asked supporters to [ [link removed] ]contribute to help us fight the lies,
and we struck a chord. Our campaign triggered attacks: We had to report a
threatening phone call that targeted Gloria and Kristin. One thing is
clear - moms and families are sick and tired of the lies and
disinformation coming from a president who the Washington Post says has
made 15,413 false or misleading statements over the last 1,055 days.^1
Fighting for women, moms, and families is not easy work, and frankly, it's
not always safe. Some people might attack us, but we'll never back down.
This work is too important. We believe in the truth, and we teach our kids
to value TRUTH. We must fight the lies - for our kids, and all children
yet to come.
Thank you for fighting for the truth with us. Please read on and join us
in this week's actions ...
1. Help MomsRising Shine a Light on TRUTH!

BACKGROUND: We’ve all heard the story about six-year-old George Washington
chopping down his father’s cherry tree, and not being able to lie about
it. And, of course, Abraham Lincoln was known as “Honest Abe.” We are
furious that in 2020 we could not have a more different leader in the
White House. Donald Trump has verifiably lied more than 15,000 times. He
and his Administration regularly twist reality, sow confusion, and hide
facts in an unending campaign to gaslight America — manipulating the truth
and making people question what’s real — to serve Trump’s own ends.
Support MomsRising’s work to challenge the Trump Administration’s lies.

2. Tell Congress: Repeal the “Muslim Ban” and Co-Sponsor and Pass the NO
BAN Act

BACKGROUND: The Trump administration has expanded its travel restrictions
to include: Sudan, Tanzania, Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, and Nigeria--
Africa’s largest economy, affecting nearly a quarter of people living on
the continent. The “Muslim Ban” is not only separating families, it is
keeping people from seeking asylum and refuge; students from receiving and
completing their education; and families from celebrating. The National
Origin-Based Anti-discrimination for Non-immigrants Act (“NO BAN
Act ”) will end the Muslim Ban and amend the Immigration and Nationality
Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of religion, ensuring that no
president can ever again ban an entire religion or community. If we don’t
stop the Trump administration now, they will continue to add more
countries to the travel restriction list. We must do all we can to stop
the Trump administration’s discriminatory practices against Muslim and
immigrant people and we must act NOW. [ [link removed] ]Click here to add your name!

4. Take Action on the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)!
Text ERA to 747464 TODAY
BACKGROUND: On February 13, in an historic vote, the U.S. House of
Representatives passed HJ Res. 79, which removes the (likely
unconstitutional) time limits to the Equal Rights Amendment. WOOHOO! Thank
you to the bipartisan group of women and men who stood up for women's
equality. Now on to the Senate! We need them to pass their version of the
bill Senate Resolution 6. Text ERA to 747464 TODAY to contact your Senator
and urge them to vote YES to lift the time limits on the ERA!
5. Tell Congress: Support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: Despite the Pregnancy Discrimination Act's requirement that
pregnant workers receive equal treatment, the fact is that some employers
are still firing pregnant workers for requesting simple,
medically-necessary accommodations, like avoiding heavy lifting or being
able to take extra water breaks. Discrimination is the last thing you
should have to worry about when you’re pregnant, but even in 2020 pregnant
workers are still being denied reasonable, medically-necessary
accommodations at work (like extra water breaks or being able to sit down)
because of loopholes in the 35 year old Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The
Pregnant Workers Fairness Act would make it unmistakable: Employers must
provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant workers who need
them. [ [link removed] ]Tell your U.S. Representative to support the *BIPARTISAN*
