VICTORY: Biden administration announces new rule that will extend overtime protections and benefit 4.3 million Americans. This comes after we submitted multiple comments, including one with @ROCUnited, expressing the importance of work being properly compensated.

“The notion that the same language that was used to expand EMTALA’s protections for pregnant people somehow now carves them out of the law’s full protections defies logic.”

'We've seen justices... entertain questions that are very concerning. Questions that come from an extremist perspective.'

Skye Perryman (she/her) joins Maggie McGrath on 'Forbes Newsroom' to discuss Idaho's near total abortion ban.

If you don’t already follow Skye Perryman (she/her) you absolutely should. In case you don’t know her— at this very moment she’s fighting in courts all over this country for your fundamental rights. Especially if you live in Texas!

In an important win for workers across the United States, the Biden administration has announced a new rule banning non-compete clauses in employment contracts.

We worked with restaurant workers, women in trucking, and others to support this rule when FTC first proposed it.

Thank you Maggie McGrath for having me on to share how high the stakes are for women and girls — but also for our democracy — at this time.

'There is a direct connection between the treatment of women and girls in a society and the overall strength of a democracy.'

Skye Perryman (she/her) joins Maggie McGrath on 'Forbes Newsroom' to discuss what state abortion cases have to do with democracy.

As the Department of Justice put it: 'The result would be a flood of untraceable ghost guns into our nation's communities, endangering the public...'

I am tearing up reading this piece from Skye Perryman (she/her) following today’s SCOTUS hearing.

'Will women again be failed by this Court? Or will the justices finally be able to look at the devastation they have caused to women and families and not blink?'

Skye Perryman (she/her) on the SCOTUS case that will impact people's access to emergency abortion care: msmagazine.com/2024/04/24/pre…

As Fannie Lou Hamer would say, we are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

We know that pregnant people deserve access to emergency care, including abortion care. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act requires it — and SCOTUS must recognize that.

More Skye Perryman (she/her):

Democracy Forward filed an amicus brief in front of SCOTUS fighting back against one of the most extreme abortion bans in the entire country.

You should know who they are, because they are doing the hard work to defend our fundamental freedoms.

Attacks on abortion access are attacks on democracy.

We took to the steps of the #SupremeCourt to declare: pregnant people must have access to essential emergency care regardless of where they live.

Emergency access to abortion care can be the only way to save the lives of people experiencing complications caused or exacerbated by pregnancy. More than two dozen leading medical organizations urge #SCOTUS not to weaken #EMTALA . Read the full statement: bit.ly/3xUtGbG

Today, the U.S. #SupremeCourt is hearing oral arguments in a case that will decide whether states can deprive pregnant people of the federal protection that guarantees them emergency care, including abortion care.

Here’s what you need to know:

'The far right’s brought yet another reproductive health case before the Supreme Court – and it’s just as unpopular as the last.'
