Hi, Friend!

How are you? I hope you and yours are doing well and staying healthy. 

In this time of social distancing, it’s more important than ever to
intentionally make human connections, whether over the phone or over the
Internet (and maybe sometimes in person, at least 6 feet apart of course
😁❤). That’s why MomsRising is focusing on strengthening our connection
with our community -- including you -- through more online events. 

[ [link removed] ]So we hope you will join us next Tuesday night, April 7, 8 pm ET/ 5 pm
PT, for our next online #KeepMarching meeting. Click here to RSVP and let
us know you will!

The current health crisis is upending life as we know it, including how we
work, spend money, maintain our relationships, think about the future, and
so much more. At our next #KeepMarching meeting, we’ll be considering just
a few of these things: The implications of COVID-19 for taxes, the
economy, and paid family leave. 

* With April 15 just around the corner, we’ll be talking taxes. Amy
Matsui, Director of Income Security at the National Women’s Law
Center, will be leading this discussion, including showing us how
patterns of discrimination are entrenched in our tax system. *Amy will
also share tips on the new tax extensions available due to the
COVID-19 crisis. 
* How are shutdowns and slowdowns in the retail, entertainment, and
other sectors affecting our economy? Indivar Dutta-Gupta Co-Executive
Director of the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality will help
us think about the pandemic’s economic impacts and what types of
actions our elected leaders will need to take over the coming year to
protect our families, communities, and economy. *Indivar will also
share tips on the new loans for small businesses due to the COVID-19
crisis. 
* As of April 2nd, the United States finally has a limited national paid
sick days and family leave policy, enacted through the coronavirus
relief negotiations in Congress. Ruth Martin, who leads MomsRising’s
Workplace Justice team, will talk about who is covered, who is left
out, and what you can do now -- and what we can do about expanding
coverage together. *Ruth will also share tips on how to access new
family/medical leave due to the COVID-19 crisis. 

I’m also very excited that Elyssa Schmier, MomsRising’s budget guru, will
be participating as well, bringing her expertise and helping to moderate.

[ [link removed] ]Will you join our online meeting, too? RSVP now for what will
definitely be a powerful and illuminating discussion, next Tuesday night,
April 7, 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT. 

#KeepMarching online meetings are designed to give you the inside scoop on
what’s happening on issues and politics, give you direct access to
MomsRising staff and leading experts, and fill you in on MomsRising's hot
campaigns. We use Zoom online conference rooms, so you can participate via
video conference or call in over the phone (though video is best so you
can participate in the chat room, see visuals, and because we love seeing
everyone’s faces!).

Please help MomsRising keep up our team-building work in 2020 - join us
for our April 7 KeepMarching Zoom meeting at 8PM ET/5PM PT. 

RSVP NOW ⇒ [ [link removed] ][link removed]

Looking forward to connecting with you over video or phone on Tuesday,
April 7!

Together, we'll #KeepMarching and never stop fighting for the change our
families and communities need.

--Gloria and Joy
