Top #5Actions
of the Past Week
Friday, May 21, 2021
It’s hard to believe it’s already mid-May and for many the transition
between the school year and the summer is starting. We know how
challenging this school year and living in a pandemic has been for so many
American families. And we appreciate all you’ve done to take action, make
your voice heard, and help bring relief to so many families.
This week, we have 5Actions for you. If you have already taken some of
these actions, please use the share button to spread the word on Facebook
and Twitter.

BREAKING: Supreme Court granted Mississippi’s request to review Mississippi’s
15-week abortion, putting 25 million people at risk of losing access to
abortion.

On Monday, May 17th, the SCOTUS agreed to consider a law in Mississippi
which will ultimately rollback abortion and healthcare rights. The law
itself puts Roe v. Wade at risk and if upheld and adapted, will grant
states the right to limit abortion for people seeking abortion healthcare
services. We cannot let this happen! It’s more important than ever that
Congress act to protect the right to access abortion care throughout the
U.S.

the Women’s Health Protection Act NOW!

What will happen to you & your family if federal unemployment benefits are cut?
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Republican governors in 22 states have cruelly (and ridiculously) decided
to end the $300/month boost in federal unemployment benefits, as well as
end the expanded eligibility for federal benefits that allowed workers
normally left out of the unemployment program, a decision that will
disproportionately harm women and people of color; as it also harms our
economy.
Do you live in a state that is cutting federal unemployment benefits or
would you be impacted if your governor decided to do so? We want to hear
from YOU! Personal experiences are powerful and can make a HUGE difference
in helping elected leaders understand why taking critical steps—like
protecting and extending Unemployment Insurance—are essential to the
health and well-being of our communities, families, and economy.
[ [link removed] ]Tell us about what unemployment benefits mean to you and your family
and we'll share your experience directly with leaders (you can even do so
anonymously)!

Paid Leave for All. Now.

Many families find themselves struggling right now--forced to figure out
how to care for themselves or a loved one with zero weeks of paid leave.
Paid leave is the key to our long-term health, stability, and prosperity.
Paid leave saves jobs. Paid leave saves lives. We can and we must pass it
now.
[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress to act quickly to pass the American Families Plan and
fully implement paid leave as quickly as possible so that the United
States will finally have permanent and robust paid leave for all.

Tell Congress to solve the childcare crisis!

According to the Census Bureau, just past January some 1.6 million fewer
mothers living with school-age children were actively working compared
with a year before. That’s a lot of breadwinners pushed out of much-needed
jobs. Women, particularly women and moms of color, have borne the brunt of
this pandemic, with millions of women having been forced to leave the
workforce (and much-needed jobs) often to take on caretaking roles.
There is a solution that would help address this ongoing childcare crisis.
Today, Congress will be re-introducing the Child Care for Working Families
Act, which establishes a child care and early learning infrastructure that
ensures working families can find and afford the child care they need to
succeed in the workforce and children can get the early education they
need to thrive.
[ [link removed] ]Urge your members of Congress to co-sponsor and support the Child Care
for Working Families Act to expand access to affordable, high-quality
early learning for families!

Urge your Member of Congress to Support the EACH Act!

Banning abortion doesn’t end abortion — it just ends safe, legal abortion.
Legislation such as the EACH Act will ensure that harmful bans on abortion
that deny coverage just because someone is struggling financially, like
the Hyde Amendment, will be overturned. Lack of coverage should never
stand in the way of anyone making the best decision for themselves and
their family.
