Tell Congress: We demand more in response to COVID-19 »
"If I had an unintended pregnancy right now, what could I do?" "Can I afford COVID-19 treatment?" "Should I risk getting sick to go out and vote?"
"If I had an unintended pregnancy right now, what could I do?" "Can I afford COVID-19 treatment?" "Should I risk getting sick to go out and vote?"
This is where we are in the COVID-19 crisis. The richest country in the world is forcing us to make impossible, even deadly, decisions.
And women are shouldering the brunt of the burden — especially women of color. Women are the majority of those on the front lines working to keep people alive and fed. Yet, we’re the most likely to lose our jobs and therefore our health care.
Politicians are letting women down. They’re exploiting this crisis to attack our reproductive rights. They’re standing by while many struggle to feed their families. And they're discouraging us from our only long-term remedy by forcing us to risk our lives to cast our ballots.
The next COVID-19 relief package MUST right these wrongs. We’ve teamed up with a coalition of like-minded organizations to fight for women and families because our collective power is urgently needed right now.

We demand that the next COVID-19 relief bill protect our sexual and reproductive health care. What does that mean, exactly? It means we can get an abortion if we need one. It means we can access our trusted, local health provider. It means we can all get a COVID-19 test and treatment at no cost. It means we can vote without putting our health and safety at risk. It means all frontline workers have personal protective equipment.
This is a moment when we must shout in unison in our loudest voice — and we need you, your friends, and your family to join us. We won’t stop fighting until our voices are heard. Add your name to the list of demands now »
When more people like you take action, the louder our voices become. That only makes it harder for Congress to ignore us.
