Protect Pregnant Workers' Rights

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) has made great strides in Congress. But it is still not law, and pregnant workers in the U.S. remain without critical protections in the workplace. Too many employers can fire pregnant employees – or force them to quit or take unpaid leave – instead of providing temporary and reasonable accommodations. PWFA would help put a stop to this practice and protect the health and economic security of pregnant workers everywhere.

PWFA has been stalled for far too long, but we have a window of opportunity to get it passed. The House already passed the bill with significant bipartisan support. Now, the Senate must act and finally get this legislation to President Biden’s desk. Pregnant workers shouldn’t have to wait any longer. Tell your senator it's time to pass PWFA now, not later.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.
