La lactancia siempre necesita apoyo: un texto en la madrugada, un vaso de agua o un trabajo con espacio para lactar. 💜
¿Quién hizo la diferencia para ti?

La lactancia es la base de una vida saludable, pero las familias no pueden hacerlo solas.
Invertir en lactancia = familias más fuertes y comunidades más sanas. 💜

In April 2024, the EEOC issued a final rule regarding the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. Mississippi & Louisiana quickly challenged the rule, seeking a declaratory judgment that neither state was obligated to accommodate an employee’s elective abortion. buff.ly/1Cm66OY

Littler provides insight into the federal court decision that vacated portions of the final rule of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to the extent that the rule includes elective abortion as a condition for which employers are required to make accommodations. #employmentlaw #PWFA bit.ly/4dFF3Vx
Littler’s Jessica Craft, Devjani Mishra and Mark Phillis discuss the revived legal challenge to the #PWFA filed by 17 states after the Eight Circuit Court of Appeals decided that they have standing to challenge the Final Rule. #accommodations #employmentlaw bit.ly/4kjbV9F

Defending the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act is critical for millions of workers—especially those in low-wage jobs.
The ongoing case in Texas threatens to undermine a landmark civil rights victory for women and families. We need the #PWFA. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I'm not sure if you've made the transition as an adult from being an ineligible immigrant to being an eligible citizen, but I have and I can personally attest that it's a HUGE difference. I helped get the #PWFA passed & my Senator issued a statement based on a call I made to his office
Yep. Which is why I redirected the conversation to "Let me actually show you how legislation is passed based on me getting the #PWFA through the Senate"
I think I would have lost the argument I reacted with sarcasm or disapproval
Calling my senators has produced at least 2 real world results: 1) passage of the #PWFA 2) a statement by 1 of my senators that the Trump admin should stop nominating unqualified judges & get serious about their nominees

Trump judges took away abortion access from Texas women, now a Trump judge is taking away workplace protections that prevent women in TX from having to choose between a safe pregnancy and their livelihoods. Each year, 250,000 pregnant women in TX are employed during pregnancy. They all need #PWFA
