Tell Congress: Act Now on Jobs Proprosal That Supports Women & Families 

Take ActionSince the recession officially ended in June of 2009, women have actually lost jobs and their unemployment rate has increased. Cuts to funding for public services have made a grim jobs picture for women even worse. The President's jobs plan includes important provisions for women, and we need Congress to respond quickly to create jobs, grow the economy, and alleviate hardship for millions of struggling women and families. Urge your Members of Congress to act quickly on these measures to address the immediate deficit facing this country — the jobs deficit.

 

Tell President Obama All Women Need Affordable Birth Control

Take ActionWe secured a big victory when we helped get all forms of FDA-approved contraceptives covered and without a co-pay. However, we were dismayed that the administration allowed some employers to deny this coverage to their employees. Now, some opponents of contraception are pressuring President Obama to deny this critical benefit to more than a million more women. Tell President Obama to give ALL women access to contraception without co-pays.

 

Tell Your Senators to Vote on All Judicial Nominees 

Take ActionAlmost one in ten federal judgeships sits empty, and over one-third of those vacancies are in courts so overburdened that they have been deemed judicial emergencies. When our courts aren't working at full capacity, it takes longer to resolve civil cases. There are nominees ready for a floor vote, and some of these nominees have been waiting for months. Why the delays? Because some Senators in the minority are refusing to follow time-honored rules in confirming judicial nominees. These Senators are trying to run out the clock on judges, even while people around the country are waiting for justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. Tell your Senators to get the job done and vote on ALL judicial nominees.
