Proposed resolution urges investments to support working mothers

The proposed resolution would call for paid leave and workplace accommodations for workers. The recommendations cover workers, including parents and people caring for family members, as well as workers with debilitating menstrual or menopause symptoms. These are recommendations; the resolution would not itself create leave benefits or require workplace accommodations.

The proposed resolution would call for more support for childcare, food assistance, and programs to reduce child poverty. The recommendations address childcare and early learning, food programs for families and schoolchildren, and tax credits aimed at reducing child poverty. The resolution would not itself provide funding or change eligibility or benefit rules for these programs.

The proposed resolution would call for steps to improve maternal health and reduce workplace inequality. The recommendations include maternal and reproductive health care, higher minimum wages that keep pace with inflation, protections for LGBTQ+ mothers, and steps to reduce unequal pay. These are recommendations; the resolution would not itself raise wages or create workplace protections.
