Dear Friend,

 

This Women’s History month, we want to remind you of why those of us at URGE: Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity fight for Reproductive Justice every day, week, and month of the year: so that Black and Indigenous women and non-binary people of color can live full, liberated lives in safe and sustainable communities.

Throughout this pandemic, our government has shown a callous disregard for the economic security of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other women and non-binary people of color. Since discussions over the first COVID-19 relief began in spring 2020, URGE has demanded that all federal relief include raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, extending unemployment benefits, increasing tax credits for children, and extending stimulus payments to young adult dependents. While the Biden-Harris Administration met some of these demands in their most recent $1.9 trillion relief bill, there’s still a long way to go to address the damage done since the pandemic began.

 

In Solidarity,
