Sunday is Mother's Day and women across Minnesota will be receiving well wishes and greeting cards with messages of gratitude. But moms want and need more than brunch and flowers!

Moms, and the people who love them, want equal pay and equal opportunities to contribute to Minnesota's economic prosperity.

On behalf of Minnesota's mothers, we urge you to support the common sense provisions included in the Women's Economic Security Act:

• Expansion of unpaid family leave and reasonable accommodations for pregnant and nursing employees
• Greater participation of women in high-wage, high-demand nontraditional work
• Improved enforcement of equal pay laws
• Protections from workplace discrimination based on being a mother
• Support for women dealing with the economic consequences of domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault
• Expanded opportunities for grandparents to pitch in and use earned sick time to help care for grandchildren
• Serious consideration of more options for increased retirement security

This year give Minnesota mothers something they really need, the Women's Economic Security Act. Please let your legislators know. Click here to download this message and send it to your legislators (more information below).
