Tell Congress to Support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
Support pregnant workers.
Dear Chris,
In some places, this is the list of fireable offenses if you are a pregnant worker: using the bathroom, sitting on a stool, and even just drinking water.
Seriously.
For some pregnant workers, this is an outrageous reality — but there’s hope. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, introduced today with bipartisan support in both the House and Senate, would take commonsense steps to end pregnancy discrimination in the workplace. Now your lawmakers need to hear from you about this crucial legislation, in time for Mothers’ Day.

No one should be forced to make the choice between a paycheck and a healthy pregnancy. But that’s what happens when employers refuse to give reasonable accommodations to pregnant workers who have a medical need for them. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act would ensure those workers get the accommodations they require — and keep their jobs when they need that income most.
Tell your lawmakers to co-sponsor this critical bipartisan legislation for pregnant workers.
