Women, LGBTQIA+ people, and the families who depend on us have a lot at stake in the upcoming #FarmBill. Women—especially Black, Latina, and Native women, women with disabilities, and immigrant women—and LGBTQIA+ individuals have long been disproportionately likely to experience poverty, hunger, and hardship. They are also more likely to rely on SNAP, our nation’s bedrock anti-hunger program that will be reviewed in the upcoming Farm Bill. Watch a webinar sponsored by the National Women's Law Center and featuring experts from FRAC, UnidosUS (@WeAreUnidosUS), and MomsRising.org, to learn more about what’s at stake for women, LGBTQIA+ people, and families in the Farm Bill; opportunities to strengthen nutrition, child care, and public health in this legislation; and how you can get involved. https://lnkd.in/gGWEs4gD

ICYMI: Some excerpts from The White House Proclamation on Women's History Month: "Despite the progress that... visionaries have achieved, there is more work ahead to knock down the barriers that stand in the way of women and girls realizing their full potential — in a country founded on freedom and equality, nothing is more fundamental... We are making sure women have access to the resources they need to enter and remain in the workforce, including high-quality, affordable child care. My Administration’s American Rescue Plan helped working mothers, especially during the most challenging times of the pandemic, by keeping the doors of 220,000 child care centers open — 90 percent of which are owned and staffed by women... Vice President Harris and I are fighting to protect women’s reproductive freedom.... I have taken action to safeguard access to reproductive care, including abortion and contraception... This Women’s History Month, may we recognize the long, storied history of great women helping to realize our Nation’s founding promise and highest aspirations. May we all continue working to build a world worthy of the dreams and goals of all women and girls." #womenshistorymonth #womensfuture #worthyworld https://lnkd.in/ehFDDbpY

Not only is it important to have more women in politics. It is also important to have different types of women in politics including mothers. Time to: ➡ Fix official parental leave ➡ Fix remote voting ➡ Look at when meetings are scheduled to make it more family (and just general life) friendly In the EP and all other parliaments 🌍 #EUelections #femaleMEPs #womenleading #womenchangemakers #representationmatters #genderequality #genderinequality #equity #inclusion #intersectionalfeminism #EP2024 #womeninpolitics #morewomeninpolitics
Great opinion in EUobserver by Raquel Garcia Hermida-van der Walle and Anna Stürgkh 💡"For MEPs, the absence of any official parental leave or the possibility to vote remotely means they must choose between caring for newborns or carrying out their mandates" ⭐️We couldn't agree more: "Just get on with it" and fix this so women who are mothers can also represent us and thrive doing so. ➡ https://lnkd.in/eCByvXfv #EUelections #femaleMEPs #womenleading #womenchangemakers #representationmatters #genderequality #genderinequality #equity #inclusion #intersectionalfeminism #EP2024
