Tell Congress: Act Now on Jobs Proprosal That Supports Women & Families

Since the recession officially ended in June of 2009, women have actually lost jobs and their unemployment rate has increased. Cuts to funding for public services have made a grim jobs picture for women even worse. The President's jobs plan includes important provisions for women, and we need Congress to respond quickly to create jobs, grow the economy, and alleviate hardship for millions of struggling women and families. Urge your Members of Congress to act quickly on these measures to address the immediate deficit facing this country — the jobs deficit.

Tell Congress: Make Millionaires and Corporations Pay Their Fair Share

Instead of showering tax breaks on the wealthy, the oil and gas industry and on corporations that ship American jobs overseas, Congress needs to protect vital programs and create jobs. Middle-class and low-income families have already sacrificed enough. Tell your Members of Congress to make millionaires and corporations pay their fair share, to protect vital programs and to create jobs for the millions of struggling Americans who need them.

Tell Your Senators to Vote on All Judicial Nominees

Almost one in ten federal judgeships sits empty, and over one-third of those vacancies are in courts so overburdened that they have been deemed judicial emergencies. When our courts aren't working at full capacity, it takes longer to resolve civil cases. There are nominees ready for a floor vote, and some of these nominees have been waiting for months. Why the delays? Because some Senators in the minority are refusing to follow time-honored rules in confirming judicial nominees. These Senators are trying to run out the clock on judges, even while people around the country are waiting for justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. Tell your Senators to get the job done and vote on ALL judicial nominees.
