 Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced legislation that would improve young children’s access to nutritious meals in child care centers, family child care homes, and Head Start and Early Head Start programs.

End Wage Discrimination: Pass the Paycheck Fairness Act
 On Jan. 29, 2009, President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law. Now it is time to move on to the Paycheck Fairness Act. The Paycheck Fairness Act, which has already passed in the House, would deter wage discrimination by closing loopholes in the Equal Pay Act and barring retaliation against workers who disclose their wages. The bill also allows women to receive the same remedies for sex-based pay discrimination that are currently available to those subject to discrimination based on race and national origin. Learn more about the issue or take action now to support the Paycheck Fairness Act.
