Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Friday, December 18, 2020
Your urgent action is still needed before the country shuts down for the
year-end holidays! The clock is ticking: We’ve got to keep urging Congress
to help families who are suffering COVID’s economic fallout by taking
immediate steps to strengthen and expand unemployment insurance, as well
as extend paid leave and sick days. And keep reaching out to Georgia
voters to make sure they cast their ballots for the U.S. Senate Special
Election on Jan. 5th, which is just around the corner.
-- Kristin, Anita, Gloria, Sue Anne, Taylor, Ruth, Elyssa, Diarra, and the
rest of the MomsRising / MamásConPoder Team
Call your U.S. Senators now to demand a year-end COVID package!
Believe it or not, the U.S. Congress is still negotiating a year-end COVID
package. Unless they take immediate action in the next few days, 12
million people will be immediately kicked off of unemployment insurance ,
19 million renters will lose their homes and 31 million parents will lose
access to emergency paid leave at the same time that the virus is
rampaging and schools are shutting down. Negotiations have been on-going
but we need you to push one last time to make sure the priorities our
families desperately need are included in a final year-end COVID package.

THERE IS A SPECIAL ELECTION IN GEORGIA ON JANUARY 5th! *Do you have some
time to help get out the vote with the Black women-led Georgia Coalition
for the People's Agenda, along with the Transformative Justice Coalition,
and Public Citizen in making phone calls to Georgia voters to let them
know about their early voting, absentee voting, and same day voting
options for the January Special Election?
The time is now!! "This week is the most important week to make phone
calls. Our goal is getting people the information they need to early vote,
which started Monday, December 14th in Georgia; and also to ask people to
utilize the absentee ballot process in Georgia. Getting people the
information they needed to vote early and absentee on November 3rd
resulted in historic voter turnout, we’re using those same tactics now to
build voter turnout for the Georgia Special Election!" - Dianne Wilkerson,
Transformative Justice Coalition

Quick Signature! Urge your Congress members to end the HYDE amendment

We are reimagining a future where we can live, work, and make decisions
about our health and our future with dignity and respect. We can start by
ending the Hyde Amendment: The EACH Woman Act is a bill that would ensure
abortion coverage for all. It should not matter how much money you make or
whether or not you have insurance – each of us should be able to make
personal decisions without politicians interfering. Right now, we have
more than 180 co-sponsors in the U.S. House, and over 20 co-sponsors in
the U.S. Senate, for the EACH Woman Act – with only a few weeks left to
add co-sponsors, we need to show overwhelming support to end the Hyde
amendment.
[ [link removed] ]Urge your member of Congress to end HYDE today and together we can
protect access to reproductive health!
Call your members of Congress and tell them to include emergency paid leave in
their year-end COVID package!
Emergency paid leave has been proven to prevent more than 15,000 new COVID
cases per day. It has prevented countless evictions, hospitalizations,
hungry children, and sleepless nights and is supported by small business
owners who say that paid leave has helped them keep their workers in jobs.
But to date, Congress has failed to renew emergency paid leave. If they do
not renew it before the end of the year, over 31 million working people no
longer have access to this safety net.
Text PaidLeave to 747464 to tell your Members of Congress to expand and
extend emergency paid leave through 2021!
