Mothers more often than not are the breadwinner in a single family home. Women should not be penalized because they want to have children. They earn and deserve fair and equal pay.
The Fair Pay Restoration Act is currently stalled in the U.S. Senate. It easy passed easily the House last year. Our voices are needed to move it through the Senate. This Act will restore a big part of people's ability to challenge discrimination in the workplace.
U.S. Senators are home for the holidays through the third week in January. When the Senate reconvenes, they are scheduled to hold a hearing on the Fair Pay Restoration Act (1/24/08) That means we have a chance to meet with Senate staff or Senators before they return to D.C. and vote on this important issue.
Please set up a meeting with your U.S. Senators in your home state during January, to deliver petition signatures supporting equal pay for equal work. Your meeting will be posted on the MomsRising.org site so that others may join you. A face to face meeting with your your Senators is a powerful way to remind them of priorities. All we want is for her or him to vote for the Fair Pay Restoration Act!
