BIG NEWS: Virginia is one signature away from becoming the 14th state (plus D.C.) to guarantee the right to paid family and medical leave. CAP senior fellow @Molly_MWW explains:

WATCH: I'm standing with Senate Dems to expose exactly how the Republicans defunding Planned Parenthood under their Big Ugly Bill has ripped health care away from women across the country. youtube.com/watch?v=ZrNjc1…

Two Florida women argued that forcing them to have C-sections violated their rights. Hospital staff said their medical decisions threatened the health of the fetus. Courts would decide which one mattered more. propublica.org/article/florid…

There’s no America without us. Yet as the US marks its 250th anniversary, our democracy feels more fragile and fragmented each day. Join the #DemandDiversity Roundtable, as we unveil America 250: A Guide for Defending Democracy bit.ly/America250Live

Today, I joined leaders, advocates, and experts at the @DadsCaucus National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis, to find solutions that bridge the gaps in America’s caregiving economy. Too many are forced to choose between caring for their loved ones or staying financially stable.

Who doesn't love pi(e)?! For a nerdy and fun #PiDay x #WomensHistoryMonth mashup, we're featuring four pie charts that show how historical policy choices shape women’s reality today. npwf.info/4letyrN

In honor of #BlackMidwivesDay, @BirthJustice is bringing together leaders, advocates, birth workers, and changemakers for a press conference on the state of Black maternal health and the crucial role of Black midwifery. Livestream at 11:15 AM EST tomorrow: bit.ly/4rqxRSB

To mark Women’s History Month and the 16th Anniversary of the ACA, we’re taking a look at how this year’s decline in ACA Marketplace enrollment - as a result of the expiration of ACA subsidies - has impacted women’s progress in health care access. npwf.info/40Lp5Dz

@VAHouseDems, @VASenate and @SpanbergerForVA are aligned and have the opportunity to pass a paid leave law making Virginia the 15th state (+DC) to offer state #PaidLeave. This is a no brainer for Virginians. drive.google.com/file/d/1MR-iDQ…

On Abortion Provider Appreciation day, we're reminded that appreciation starts with protection. Dobbs' impact on providers has been far reaching and we need bold Congressional action to address them. nationalpartnership.org/wp-content/upl…

Abortion care transcends generations. Thank you to the abortion providers of the past, present, and future who provide this crucial care to their communities. Today we celebrate you! Abortion providers and the care they give must be protected. #CelebrateAbortionProviders

Virginia has an opportunity to make a statement in the national fight for #PaidLeave. If passed, HB1207/SB2 will ensure more than a third of working people in the U.S would be able to take paid time off for caregiving or major medical needs. drive.google.com/file/d/1MR-iDQ…

Today on Abortion Provider Appreciation Day, we honor and celebrate everyone who makes abortion care possible! Abortion is health care. Let's #CelebrateAbortionProviders who make access a reality. 💜

Abortion providers are a part of our history, and they will be an instrumental part of our future. Today, we celebrate everyone who makes abortion care possible. #CelebrateAbortionProviders

This #JobsDay is a warning sign. Working women are the first to feel the pain of a slowing economy. We must do better.

In today's @nytimes Sunday issue, we joined @colorofchange and other organizations in publishing an open-letter. We invite all corporations to make the right choice: Stay strong and do not abandon DEI efforts. Do not harm your workers and consumers. colorofchange.org/an-open-letter…

Today's #JobsDay paints a bleak picture for women, especially Black women and Latinas. The realities of today’s job market – from wages, to hiring, to participation – are all shaped by policy choices, and more specifically policy failures, over the course of many decades.

The consequences of these actions have begun to unfold – and will have ripple effects for years to come. Women deserve a workplace where they can thrive. Looking back at history makes clear that the right policy choices can make this possible. npwf.info/4bsmZyD

Trump has gutted or threatened essential protections that keep workers safe, ensure an inclusive workplace & promote equal opportunity. He has also undermined women’s access to reproductive care through cuts to health care & deliberate efforts to restrict abortion access.

Today’s #JobsDay reveals a dramatically slowing economy: we lost 92,000 jobs in February and unemployment rates for Black and Latina women got worse. npwf.info/4bsmZyD
