The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act is a long overdue bill to guarantee pregnant workers a right to reasonable, medically-necessary accommodations and prevent employers from pushing pregnant workers off the job.

The lack of adequate legal protections for pregnant workers is a key contributor to higher rates of poverty for mothers, especially mothers of color, who are now disproportionately shouldering the impact of the dual economic and public health crises.
