We Can Win! Vote YES on the Women’s Health Protection Act
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Last Friday, the U.S. House of Representatives took an essential step to
protect our health, rights, dignity, and autonomy by passing the Women’s
Health Protection Act (WHPA) of 2021. This bill will safeguard the legal
right to abortion for everyone in this country, no matter where they live.
Its enactment is especially important for those with low incomes, people
of color, individuals with disabilities, and other vulnerable communities
who are suffering grave harm from S.B. 8, Texas’ draconian six-week
abortion ban. Over 300k members have joined our call to action to stand up
for the legal right to access abortion everywhere already and it’s not too
late for you to join us. Our message to the Senate remains: Vote YES, Pass
#WHPA! Sign on today.

Quick signature to support health care in the Build Back Better plan!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
The U.S. Congress has a once-in-a-decade chance to take huge strides
toward making our health care system more equitable, accessible, and
affordable. The health care policies proposed in the Build Back Better
budget plan will make key investments and critical reforms that the large
majority of American voters support. We just need to get them past the
finish line!

Urge Congress to support breastfeeding parents & pass the PUMP Act!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->

Cramped airplane bathrooms. Steamy hot cars. Filthy utility closets. These
are just some of the places that breastfeeding moms have had to pump
breastmilk because they didn’t have access to anything better. It doesn’t
have to be this way and the good news is Congress is set to take action!
Nearly four out of five U.S. mothers start out breastfeeding, but less
than half are still breastfeeding at six months postpartum. One of the
main causes for the drop-off in breastfeeding rates is the lack of break
time and a private place to pump in the workplace.
Breastfeeding and chestfeeding parents continue to face barriers in the
workplace, putting them at particular risk for not meeting their
breastfeeding/chestfeeding goals.

Tell Congress to Support Critical Investments in Maternal Health in the Build
Back Better Act!
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED ->
[ [link removed] ]Sign Now
The state of maternal health is in crisis, especially for Black women and
Native families and communities.
Right now, the United States is the most dangerous place to give birth in
the developed world, with major racial disparities where Black women lose
their lives at 3 to 4 times the rate of white women. This loss of life is
due to maternity-related causes, independent of age, economic background,
or education, a fact that has gone unchanged for several decades. If we’re
going to save our moms, we need everyone to be a part of the solution.
We know that at least 60% of maternal deaths can be prevented and infant
mortality reduced with investment in public policies and culturally
competent care. Together we can tackle this crisis.

Tell Secretary Mayorkas to stop punishing Haitians for seeking asylum!

It’s been just a week since we saw those horrifying images of U.S. Border
Patrol agents on horseback using whips or lariats against Haitian
migrants, including at least one child. Since then, ICE has responded by
ramping up deportations of people seeking asylum from Haiti. Nearly 4,000
Haitians have been quickly expelled to Haiti --“a country ravaged by
natural and man-made calamities.” - CBS News. These deportation flights
completely evade our country’s immigration laws and every immigrant’s
right to request asylum.
