Women and the Economic Crisis

Economic CrisisAs Congress returns to Washington to address the nation's worsening economic crisis, let's make sure that the needs of women and families are not forgotten. While the sky is apparently the limit when it comes to bailing out the financial industry, hard-pressed American families are being asked to wait until next year for solutions. A minority of Senators prevented the Senate from considering an economic recovery package in late September, and is threatening to do so again. Tell your Senators that the needs of women and families hurt by this economic crisis can't wait.

 

Demand Health Care Reform that Works for Women

Demand Health Care Reform that Works for WomenMany Americans are unfamiliar with the harsh realities of the individual health insurance market because they receive health insurance through an employer. However, as a number of prominent health care reform proposals consider expanding the role of the individual market, it is important to understand how this system fails women. Download NWLC's new report, Nowhere to Turn: How the Individual Health Insurance Market Fails Women, and contact your Members of Congress today.

 

Sign On to an Agenda for Child Care

Child CareFor the past several months, a broad group of national and state organizations has been crafting a shared agenda, or "blueprint," for the future of child care. This historic collaboration has produced a solid framework for guiding the reauthorization of the Child Care and Development Block Grant, and other opportunities for child care improvements when the new Administration and Congress take office next year. Now, we're asking our partners and supporters across the country to show their support by signing on to this comprehensive agenda. Please sign on your organization or sign on as an individual.
