Let’s make our feelings clear this Valentine’s Day, John.
Women are experiencing the worst effects of the COVID-19 recession. In the last year, over 3 million women have dropped out of the workforce.1 Women, especially women of color, have been impacted the most by wage cuts, layoffs, loss of health insurance due to unemployment, and increasing child care costs. From work, child care, chores, virtual schooling — women all across the country are being expected to do it all — and we’re on the brink.
But we need more than just relief from the pandemic. We need Congress to pass lasting policy changes including a $15 minimum wage, paid sick leave, and pay equity to create a future where women can thrive.
That’s why we’re recruiting Women’s Marchers to send Valentine’s Day notes directly to Congress to let them know exactly what women need. Click here to send your personalized Valentine’s Day note to Congress and demand the future women deserve.

This pandemic has exposed the long-time problems women in our country face, the disparities that have formed from an economy that puts profits over people, and the broken systems that are supposed to protect the most vulnerable.
Congress must think bigger than just how much relief we need to get through this crisis. Women need policy solutions that match the scale of challenges we’ve faced for so long and to establish a future where we all can thrive including:
So this Valentine’s Day, we’re asking Congress to #HaveAHeart and support women in this pandemic and beyond. Join thousands of other Women’s Marchers and send your own Valentine’s note to Congress to support this slate of demands.
Let’s do this,
Women’s March
