Time to Act!

We've got a fierce admiration for MomsRising.org, here at Mommybloggers.com. This fantastic grassroots organization is working hard for the benefit of all mothers. Cooper Munroe, one of our favorite writers and activists, got the chance to view MomsRising.org's film The Motherhood Manifesto at BlogHer this year. Through this important film, she learned that in Pennsylvania, it is legal to ask someone in a job interview if they are married or have children. As you can guess, this hurts mostly moms and single moms.

Cooper leaped into action, and since BlogHer she has been working with Joan Blades and others at MomsRising.org, as well as women in Pennsylvania to help get legislation passed (it has been stalled in the state house and senate -- for 6 years!) that would make this practice illegal.

Cooper wrote an article about it, which explains the problem.

Cooper explains:

If Pennsylvania can do this, it means so much to moms everywhere, and could create momentum for many critical issues involving moms and families. PA could start a chain reaction, and we need to drum up some noise. Momsrising has created a web page for this, and we have been blogging over there too. We have information, links to PA legislators phone/email info and a petition. You don't have to be from PA to send a message that this is important.

We encourage you to go sign the petition, send an email, make a call, and please, spread the word. This "mom-profiling" and dicrimination needs to be brought to an end.

That is unbelievable. With a Human Resourcs background, this kind of thing infuriates me. I had no idea PA could do this. Thanks for the info.
