PREVIOUS PREGNANCY SUPPORT ADVOCACY AND EVENTS
BABIES AND MOTHERS DIAPER AND CLOTHING COLLECTION THANK YOU!
TELL YOUR SENATORS:
PUT THE PREGNANT WORKERS' FAIRNESS ACT TO A VOTE!
Thank you to everyone who helped us collect items for babies and mothers throughout the month of May! All items collected in the marked containers in the gathering space or put in bags at the outdoor Mass were donated to Pregnancy Support Services.
The Pregnant Workers’ Fairness Act is simple: it requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant workers on the job. This pro-life, pro-family and pro-worker measure passed the House overwhelmingly with a bipartisan majority, and now awaits a vote in the Senate. But time is running out, and unless the Senate leadership schedules a floor vote soon, the bill will die.

This critical legislation has brought together the Church, the labor movement, and a variety of women’s organizations. And it should: no woman should have to choose between her job and the health and safety of her unborn child. That’s one reason why Archbishop Paul Coakley, in the Bishops’ 2022 Labor Day Statement, told readers “With a short time left in this current legislative session of Congress, we urge immediate Senate passage of this proposal that would make the workplace safer for women and their preborn children.”
The Senators will only act if they think this issue is a priority for constituents. Please tell your Senators that you support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act!
