Support the Paycheck Fairness Act … Tell Members of Congress
 |
| It’s down to the wire.
We need your help to ensure that as many Members of Congress as possible sign on as co-sponsors of the Paycheck Fairness Act by Equal Pay Day on Tuesday. Take Action: Tell Your Members of Congress to Co-Sponsor the Paycheck Fairness Act On Equal Pay Day, some politicians talk a good game about their support of equal pay without actually endorsing the policies that would help close the wage gap. We need to send a clear message that empty talk is not enough. We need our Members of Congress to take a firm stand by publicly supporting the Paycheck Fairness Act, which is a strong bill to address the wage gap on multiple fronts. What would the Paycheck Fairness Act do? This bill would deter wage discrimination by updating and strengthening the Equal Pay Act, including by barring retaliation against workers who disclose their own wages to co-workers—such as firing employees for talking about their salaries. And new this year, the bill would also prohibit employers from seeking a job applicant’s salary history so that pay discrimination will no longer follow women and people of color from job to job. It’s time for our Members of Congress to do more than say nice things about equal pay. Tell them to co-sponsor the Paycheck Fairness Act before Equal Pay Day. Tuesday, April 4, is Equal Pay Day this year. It marks the day that the typical woman’s wages finally catch up to those of her male counterparts from the previous year. With the Paycheck Fairness Act, we can start to close the gap. Tell your Members of Congress to co-sponsor the bill today. Thanks for joining We the Resistance’s fight to achieve equal pay. In solidarity,

HUGE ruling for our planet … with the help from 8 kids- Will this win be repealed
Eight courageous kids went to court to compel us adults to take action on climate change. I’m happy to say that they won.
These eight kids know that our state can do more to fight climate change — and I do, too. Their case has been a call for action to no longer ignore our climate and our kids. And now, the court has affirmed that our plan to reduce carbon pollution is the right thing to do, and now is the right time.
While we fight for better schools and an economy that works for everyone, making sure we do our part to protect our air and water for generations to come must be a critical issue for all of us.
Thanks to those eight kids, the court has affirmed our plan to act, contrary to the assertion of those who continue to obstruct action on climate change and ocean acidification. Hundreds of people have participated in the creation of our state’s Clean Air Rule and the draft will be out this month.
It’s a powerful statement that these kids took legal action to fight for the future of our planet — for their future. I’m grateful that they did. Their generation has so much more at stake when it comes to climate change. That’s why this election is so important.
We must continue to fight to reduce our carbon pollution immediately. We’re also going to build a clean energy economy — one where Washington leads.
Add your name right now to show your support for a strong Clean Air Rule worthy of our kids’ future.
This is about our future. This is about our kids’ future. Taking action is an imperative — I’m grateful to have you on my side for this effort.
Very truly yours,
Jay Inslee
