Pregnant or Pumping at Work? YOU have new legal rights!

March 8, 2023
If you are pregnant or pumping at work new legislation signed into law at the end of last year offers you new legal protections! Gone are the days of choosing between a healthy pregnancy and a paycheck. No more pumping in storage closets or the bathroom. Pregnant, breastfeeding, and lactating workers are no longer forced to make these impossible decisions thanks to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act (“PUMP Act”).

SIGN: Don’t rekindle Trump asylum policies! Show some love to migrant families!

February 14, 2023
We all want the same thing – a safe place for our families to live and thrive. That’s exactly what parents are looking for when they reach our border and request asylum.

Add your name! Medicaid saves lives!

March 22, 2023
“My son has cystic fibrosis and type 1 diabetes. Medicaid has literally saved his life. As a single low income parent I can barely afford to provide housing and food… My child deserves to have the life-saving medications he needs and he also deserves to have a home and food. Without Medicaid, I don't think he can have all those things.”

New Yorkers: Tell Lawmakers we need $5B for child care

March 13, 2023
We need some MOMentum across New York State to remind lawmakers in Albany that NY families need BIG investments in child care so that working parents can work and child care providers can earn family sustaining wages. Last year, we asked Gov. Hochul to invest $5 Billion (yes, with a B!) in child...
