Extremist judges will not stop endangering the lives of pregnant people or people who may become pregnant—overturning Roe v. Wade, attacking medication abortion, threatening the future of IVF, and this week at SCOTUS, emergency abortion care.
Our lawyers are waging strategic fights that make clear what is at stake for people who can become pregnant and seek to bolster our fundamental rights to control our lives, futures, and destinies.

The COVID-19 stimulus packages included desperately needed supports for the UI system, which allowed millions to survive during the pandemic and stimulated the economy, but also laid bare the long-simmering problems in the system, including outdated eligibility, inadequate benefit levels, and rickety administration and technology. Unfortunately, as these programs near expiration – and in the case of many states, are prematurely cut off – there is still an enormous need for bold reforms to strengthen the system for the future.
The National Women’s Law Center as well as 50 additional organizations write to urge Congress to ensure that millions of people – including women supporting families – do not lose their unemployment benefits and that unemployment protections are strengthened by mandating:
Fixing unemployment insurance is not just an urgent economic issue; it is an urgent women’s rights issue, it is an urgent racial justice issue, and is an urgent disability justice issue. Please work to make an economy where women and families can thrive as we seek to recover from this pandemic and beyond.
