Vision for America
From Strength to Strength
Since January 20, practically from the moment this Administration stepped into the White House, NCJW's grassroots power has proven pivotal in the advancement of our vision for America — a vision that strives for an equitable, just, and progressive policy agenda in the United States. In just a few months of this Administration, NCJW has been at the forefront of the successful movements to:- Ensure the passage and signing into law of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
- Repeal the detrimental global gag rule
- Expand S-CHIP, the children’s health insurance program
- Restore access to affordable contraception
- Begin the process to overturn the HHS conscience rule
- Release restrictions on embryonic stem cell research - thereby returning rationality and science to policy decisions
- Create the new White House Council on Women and Girls
- Develop a Presidential Commission of Women through congressional action
Our nation's poor need us. In these tough times, we need to do all we can to redouble our efforts, to raise our voices, and to share our vision for a fair tax code, equitable budget, and just employment practices with the 111th Congress and with our new president. Spread the word about our work by calling your local representative, visiting your state’s capitol, and advocating on behalf of our nation’s weakest and by using one of the various free resources provided by NCJW as your calling card. In particular, the NCJW Vision for America brochure and the most recent vision-inspired NCJW in Action mailer (titled 'Now More than Ever') can be used to create visibility around your important section work.
To order either of these two resources, visit the NCJW Warehouse Store by clicking here or by emailing the Action Line at action@ncjw.org. NCJW Vision for America brochures and NCJW in Action mailers are available while supplies last.
