MomsRising Members Breanna Dietrich and Julie Groce shared their experiences and the challenges they faced being pregnant and trying to pump in the workplace with White House officials last week.Pregnant and breastfeeding families have new rights in the workplace. No more choosing between a healthy pregnancy and a paycheck. No more pumping in bathrooms or storage closets. Joined by officials of the Biden Harris Administration, MomsRising staff, and advocates; we celebrated the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act (PUMP Act) and Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) that were signed into law by President Biden in 2022. While we celebrated these wins for families, we also talked about the work we have left to do to ensure that all pregnant, breastfeeding and lactating workers are able to exercise their rights.Are you pregnant or pumping at work?

Recently, Senate Republicans voted down the chance to pass a temporary expansion of the Child Tax Credit - a key piece of the puzzle to supporting children and families, in addition to policies like affordable child care. Please listen to our partner Julie Kashen from the The Century Foundation in conversation with MomsRising’s Lauren Hipp, on our latest Tea & Policy episode about how the CTC and investments in child care are BOTH needed to support children and families in this country. #ChildCare #CareGiving #SolveChildCare #ChildCareForAll #CareCantWait
As the cost of raising children continue to rise, Vice President Harris’s plan to expand the child tax credit is critical to cutting child poverty and improving families' and kids' well-being. Julie Kashen joined MomsRising.org Lauren Hipp on their latest episode of "Tea & Policy" to explain the common-sense behind expanding the child tax credit and investing in #ChildCare. #CareGiving #CareCantWait
