National Partnership for Women & Families

This #WomensHistoryMonth we're struck by the fact that protections for, information about, and work by women are all threatened. The National Partnership vows to never stop fighting for all women & their families no matter the pressure or the opposition-- and neither should you.

As we close #HCValueWeek, we recognize that true value based care must prioritize patient voices. @NPWF engaged patient advocates to discuss concerns and opportunities in health care payment reform, ensuring the movement to value based care centers people’s needs.

Days before Trump took office, and in a first-of-its-kind agreement, the Biden administration reached a settlement between the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the case of Kira Johnson's preventable maternal death. Senior Manager of Maternal & Infant Health Amani Echols explains how the Trump administration's move to ban diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices threatens this historic progress.

Happy Black History Month! Amid the especially vicious attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion, we are vowing to not back down and to continue to fight for racial justice and inclusivity for Black women. When they win, we all win.

Medicaid is more than a safety net—it’s a critical health insurance program covering millions of low-income Americans. From children to older adults and individuals with disabilities, Medicaid offers free or low-cost healthcare services, funded by both federal and state governments.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), drafted by the National Partnership and signed into law by President Clinton, has been the law of the land for 32 years now! The FMLA has helped to transform workplaces, but too many people, especially workers of color, are still left behind. Workers of color are less likely to be eligible for FMLA-supported leave and, if they were, many people are unable to take the unpaid leave that the FMLA would provide. Expanding FMLA coverage and strengthening the law’s protections would make sure that these protections are available to all workers and benefit all families. https://lnkd.in/gEWge5_h

These executive orders are a direct and intentional attack on the progress we have made as a nation in securing equal rights for all. They demonstrate with stark clarity that the incoming administration is not only prioritizing narrow, self-serving interests but also disregarding the vast majority of Americans who seek fairness, justice, and a government that works for all. https://npwf.info/40wXOoa
