As we celebrate President Biden and Vice President Harris being sworn in

several important, urgent issues - including COVID-19 relief and signing
on to the Moms Mandate that we will be sharing with the Biden
administration and every single member of Congress, new and old!
It’s go time! We are in a moment of great need and also of incredible
opportunity to help move forward change. Your voice is needed! Below
you’ll find a link to our inauguration statement and important actions you
can take to finish off this historic week.

MomsRising’s Mandate for America
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Congratulations to President Biden and Vice-President Harris on taking
office! Even as we celebrate, we know there’s an immense amount of work
ahead.
With moms and our nation facing unprecedented challenges, we need
immediate solutions. The status quo is not sustainable. Moms are trying to
keep the jobs that our families and economy depend on and also care for
our kids whose child care programs have shuttered and whose schools are
operating only virtually. We’re trying to care for our parents, some of
whom are terrified to leave their homes. And moms across our nation are
trying to make ends meet on budgets that are stretched beyond the breaking
point while being disproportionately pushed out of the labor force.

waste! Sign on to our MomsRising Mandate for America and we’ll send your
petition signatures to your members of Congress and the Biden
administration.

SIGN NOW to tell the new Congress we need COVID relief!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
President Joe Biden has laid out a bold, comprehensive plan to bring our
country back from the personal, health, and economic despair brought on by
the COVID-19 pandemic. From vaccines to childcare to paid family leave to
addressing the staggering levels of hunger in this country to raising the
minimum wage, the Biden Rescue Plan is the type of approach our country so
desperately needs.
The direction of the country is changing, but President Biden can't do it
alone! We need YOU to speak up right now!

package and let the Biden Administration know that we are here advocating
for change too!

The pandemic is hitting us all hard, especially women who are losing jobs
at record numbers.
We want to increase pressure on our elected officials and policy makers to
provide immediate relief to our families. Sharing your personal
experiences can make a HUGE difference in helping elected leaders
understand why taking critical steps—extending and expanding emergency
benefits including paid leave, unemployment insurance, and supporting
childcare—are essential to the health and well-being of our communities.
Have you or a family member:
→ Been able (or unable) to access paid leave and/or paid sick days through
the new emergency pandemic paid leave law?
→ Been laid off/furloughed because of the pandemic and had to access
Unemployment Insurance? Lost your unemployment benefits?
→ Been forced out of work (or reduced your hours) due to caregiving
responsibilities (including, lack of affordable child care options)?
→ Received the stimulus check? If so, how does your family plan to use it?
→ Had COVID-19 impact your family’s health or received the vaccine?
→ Been excluded from COVID relief because of your immigration status?

impacted by the coronavirus now as they work on solutions!

Our Statement: America’s Moms Are Ready For A New Era
“Make no mistake: Moms powered this change and we aren’t done yet.
America’s moms will partner with the new administration and allies in
Congress and in statehouses across the country to win the transformative
policy reforms we urgently need. Yesterday we memorialized the 400,000
people we have lost to COVID-19 -- a pandemic and a presidency that have
disproportionately harmed Black, Indigenous, and people of color -- and
today we finally begin responding with smart programs and policies, and by
supporting and protecting each other in our workplaces, our schools, our
nursing homes and prisons, and throughout our communities.”
