Hi all,
The Senate has the chance to pass a widely popular bipartisan bill that would ensure pregnant and postpartum people can get workplace accommodations (like light duty, extra breaks, space to breastfeed) but thus far, it hasn't been prioritized for a vote in the Senate even though it has the votes to pass and already passed the House of Representatives with overwhelming support in May 2021. A group of maternal health and civil rights orgs including the ACLU, A Better Balance. March of Dimes, ParentsTogether, and others are hosting a rally on Thursday, November 1 urging Senator Schumer to bring the bill to a vote. Please join these groups along with pregnant women and moms who will be sharing their personal stories, organizational leaders, and legislators calling for action before the end of the year! When: Thursday, December 1st at 12:30 pm Where: Senate Swamp on Capitol grounds. Enter at Delaware and Constitution Ave NE (across from Russell Senate Office Bldg at 2 Constitution Ave NE).
