Build Back Better for Women & Families!

Tell Congress: We Must Build Back Better for Women & Families!

An infrastructure package without sufficient support for paid family leave, child care, health care, and family care is not a complete package. As Congress takes up President Biden’s Build Back Better plan, we need our members of Congress to prioritize women and their families in all upcoming legislation. We need a big, bold infrastructure package that prioritizes:

Permanent paid family and medical leave
Robust investments for comprehensive child care and early learning systems that babies, children, families, early educators, providers, employers, and communities need to grow and thrive
A permanent expanded child tax credit
Protects reproductive rights and invests in affordable health care
A pathway to citizenship for essential workers, including farmworkers, Dreamers, and TPS holders

Women are this country’s living infrastructure and it is time for a transformative and bold investment in our communities.

Woman and child

Tell your members of Congress today that they must prioritize building back better for all women and families!

Dear Member of Congress:

Women have been the living and breathing infrastructure of our country through our lives and labor. However, affordable health care (including reproductive health care), robust investments in direct spending to build comprehensive child care (including early learning), making the improvements to the Child Tax Credit permanent, and permanent paid family and medical leave, and a pathway to citizenship for essential workers including farmworkers, Dreamers, and TPS holders are the infrastructure policies that we need to thrive.

What do roads, bridges, child care, and paid leave have in common? They all enable us to work and to get to work. We need a holistic approach that ensures working parents and women have the support needed to get back to the workforce while also being able to take care of their families.

If we truly want to Build Back Better and improve the infrastructure of our country, these investments must be prioritized. Any attempt at passing infrastructure without sufficient support for paid family leave, child care, a permanent Child Tax Credit expansion, and family care and/or affordable health care, and a pathway to citizenship, is not a complete infrastructure package.

Please support a big, bold infrastructure package that prioritizes women and families.

Sincerely,
