[ [link removed] ]5 Actions
Dear Friend,
We're excited for the weekend, but are also very, very concerned that the
Republican-led U.S. Senate has so far failed to extend critically needed
unemployment benefits, has let the eviction moratorium expire, and has not
yet done enough to save childcare or advance paid leave and sick days.
Your voice is needed to get the U.S. Senate moving! So, please take a
moment to reach out to Congress on these key issues through the actions
below. The more of us who raise our voices, the faster change will happen.
You can also sign up below for postcards that will be sent in September to
help get out the vote.
Have a great weekend and as always thanks for all you do.
1. Support the Women’s Health Protection Act
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED
-> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: There are attacks on abortion happening in several
states around the country -- and have been for decades: Roe v.
Wade -- and the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) is a
federal bill that will protect abortion privileges for all
people, nationwide, ensuring that people have attainable
[ [link removed] ][IMG] access to quality, affordable, and compassionate reproductive -
services and abortion in their state. We will continue to
fight against laws that exploit people during the COVID-19
public health crisis and block access to health centers and
clinics. Sign on with us!
[ [link removed] ]**ACTION: Your voice matters. With your signature, we will
tell lawmakers to support the Women’s Health Protection Act
NOW!
2. We can’t reopen without saving childcare and paid leave
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED
-> [ [link removed] ]Sign Up Now
BACKGROUND: We can’t safely go back to school without all
workers having access to pandemic paid sick days and paid
[ [link removed] ][IMG] leave. Pass it on.
[ [link removed] ]**ACTION: Tell your U.S. Senators that they must act
quickly to support child care and extend and expand access to
pandemic paid leave before school starts. Otherwise, there is
no way schools, or anything else, will be able to safely
reopen.

3. Letters to the Editor needed to help struggling families!
Your Action Status: NOT YET
SUBMITTED -> [ [link removed] ]Submit Now
BACKGROUND: Last week, we saw the deadline to extend key
unemployment benefits expire and the week before that our
families lost the protection of the federal eviction
moratorium. Our families are hurting in this COVID economy,
yet U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the
[ [link removed] ][IMG] Republicans in the Senate offer weak legislation that benefits
wealthy corporations over families and our economy. It’s time
to take a stand!
[ [link removed] ]**ACTION: Your U.S. Senators are very important in this
fight. One of the most high impact, powerful things you can do
right now is send a letter to the editor to your local paper
calling on your elected leaders to do the right thing. It's
very easy and we'll walk you through all the steps below.

5. Take action now! Tell Congress to include immigrants for
COVID-19 relief!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED
-> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
BACKGROUND: Immigrants make up nearly 16% of healthcare
workers in the U.S.[1] and are putting their lives on the line
[ [link removed] ][IMG] to fight COVID! Effective public health responses require
attention to all community members, as a pandemic response
that excludes any members of our communities will weaken its
effectiveness. None of us can be healthy if any one of us is
denied access to testing, care, and economic relief.
[ [link removed] ]**ACTION: Tell Congress to include immigrants in the next
COVID-19 relief legislation!
Thank you for all you do, and have a good weekend.
