Across the country, women are fighting back to defemd their jobs and their families against candidates who want to destroy women’s reproductive rights, health care, family leave and paid sick days. Women’s voices and votes can make the difference in this election in the U.S. Senate and House, for Governors and State Legislatures, and in the movement going forward for full equality. Here are a few of the efforts underway from now to election day:

AFSCME Women Vote: “This November, women are more important than ever. From wages to sick leave to health care, the issues that matter most to women are all on the table in this election. And the pundits and pollsters agree that our votes will be the critical factor in races across the country.”  AFSCME Women Vote invites you to take part By filling out a quick survey about the issues you care about most.

National Organization for Women: We must save the Senate from a right-wing takeover, or the only thing stopping the 20-week abortion ban from becoming law would be President Obama’s veto. The Paycheck Fairness Act would continue to be blocked. And the disastrous Ryan budget, defunding crucial programs in order to give bigger tax breaks to corporations and billionaires, could easily become law.” Sign the pledge! to Win it for Women.

Fair Shot Voter: In 2012, nearly one out of every three voters was a women who voted for Barack Obama. Though women sent a loud message to their elected officials, many policies remain outdated to the challenges women and families face. With only four weeks until Election Day, help us place women and families at the center of our public policy debates! Fair Shot Voter campaign.
