Every pregnant worker deserves the opportunity to support her family without risking her health or the health of her pregnancy. Yet, many pregnant workers, particularly those in low-wage and physically demanding jobs, are often forced to choose between their health and their paycheck. Because you’ve stood with these workers year after year, you’ve empowered them to continue fighting for their rights!

At its core, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) ensures women receive reasonable accommodations on the job to prevent pregnancy complications. It’s a federal bill with bipartisan support—but it hasn’t been a priority—until you made it one!


The pressure was building to pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, read the latest here.

Our message was heard loud and clear. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Senate Democrats had to show they take women’s reproductive health seriously—and they did. Here’s what you said:

“I am urging Senator Schumer to support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and rally the Senate to pass the bill as soon as possible. If there was ever a time to prove that you and the Democratic Party are committed to reproductive justice and gender equality, it is now. We’re at the end of our rope. We don’t want platitudes—we want action. Please keep me updated on this critical legislation, which needs to be brought to the floor immediately.”

And they listened! We hope you feel empowered by the impact you’ve made.

A huge thank you to our tireless and fearless partners at A Better Balance, who made it possible for us to stand with workers and help make good trouble!
