Dear Friend,

Happy Friday. We hope you've had a good week, and are looking forward to
some down time this weekend. We know how busy these times are, whether
you're able to stay at home, or are one of our brave workers on the front
lines. Our weekly list of Top 5 Actions is a handy round-up of the biggest
campaigns we have moving right now. Scroll down to review and sign each of
our important calls-to-action. Now more than ever, we need to make sure
our voices are heard around issues that matter to parents and families
like us. 

Thank you for all you do and here's the list =>

1. Tell Congress to Act to Save Child Care

BACKGROUND: A new report released this week from the National Women's Law
Center and CLASP found that it will cost an estimated $9.6 billion each
month to stabilize our child care system and provide emergency care to
children of essential workers during the pandemic. Child care is essential
to support families in getting back to work, but many providers are in
danger of closing. The size and scope of the impact of this public health
crisis on the child care sector is profound and growing. Urge Congress to
provide at least $50 billion in child care funding to ensure the stability
of our child care system so parents and caregivers have child care to
return to when this crisis is over! [ [link removed] ]Child care could be gone if
Congress doesn't #FundChildCare NOW!

2. Demand an Essential Workers Bill of Rights



Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->

BACKGROUND: The fabrics of our communities are being held together by the
labor of essential workers. Health care workers, childcare workers,
domestic workers, social workers, grocery workers, and farm workers are
keeping us healthy, taking care of our families, and putting food on our
tables. Yet, many workers aren't being given protective equipment or
supplies, can't speak out about workplace safety without risking their
jobs and healthcare, and are bringing home poverty-level wages. [ [link removed] ]Join us
in demanding that Congress include an Essential Workers Bill of Rights in
the next COVID-19 response package.

3. RESOURCE: Know Your Rights to Pandemic Paid Sick Days and Paid Leave

[ [link removed] ]Click Here to Get Your Questions Answered

BACKGROUND: Big News! For the first time ever, thanks to the new Families
First Coronavirus Response Act, our nation will have a *limited*,
nation-wide, paid sick days and paid family leave law in place during the
COVID-19 crisis. The new law is a huge deal and we all helped make it
happen. Thank you! But how will it work? Who's covered? How do you access
the benefit? [ [link removed] ]Click here to find out and help spread the word!

4. Join the Next #KeepMarching Zoom Meeting -> COVID-19: What's happening
in prisons, jails, ICE detention centers?



Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED UP ->
[ [link removed] ]RSVP

BACKGROUND: One COVID-19 crisis at a breaking point right now is our mass
incarceration rate, combined with crowded detention facilities with
totally inadequate health protections. There are 2.3 million people behind
bars. On any given day, more than 400,000 people are held pretrial in
jails mostly because they don’t have enough money to be home with their
families. Moreover, 38,000 people are currently being held in ICE
detention centers. At this #KeepMarching online Zoom meeting, we'll be
looking at incarcerated communities, how our systems are broken, how so
many people are detained unjustly, the impact of COVID-19 on these
populations, and what should be done.

5. Sign NOW to Help Save the U.S. Postal Service and Our Democracy!



Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now

BACKGROUND: Voters in Wisconsin had to risk their lives to go out to cast
a ballot in-person, which was not okay! The COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020
elections make it clear that now more than ever we need to be able to mail
in our ballots. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS), also struggling to weather
the impacts of the pandemic, is now in danger of going under right when we
need it most. This would be a giant blow to our democracy, businesses,
economy, and communities. There’s no time to waste! Your voice, power,
help, and hope is needed. [ [link removed] ]*Add your quick signature now!
