Attention US subscribers who are interested in the Maloney bill and can't be at the press conference. Here is a list of suggested things you can do to be supportive: 1. Contact your federal legislators and ask them to co-sponsor the bill PS: There is no bill number until it is introduced. I will pass this on to all of you as soon as it is available 2. If they aren't interested in co-sponsorship, ask them to at least vote for it. 3. The best way to get them interested in eith co-sponsoring or supporting is to demonstrate to them that there is a need for this legislation. 4. Find out why they aren't interested in doing eith of the above (this will help us develop info that meant change their mind). 5. Pass on all stories that you personally are invoved in or have direct personal knowledge of to Rep. Maloney's office. This can be done by fax or phone or email. 6. Watch for media attention and be ready to respond to it. CNN and ABC have already taped pieces to be aired. 7. OR if you have good media contacts use them and encourage them to pick up the story. 8. Check out the new WABA websiter on working and women's rights, especially the ILO survey. It might give you some info that would be helpful (you might also want to share it with your legislator's office. Thanks for asking how you can help from a distance. If we can generate enough activity in our local areas, just 5-10 calls or letters can do that, maybe we can get a hearing and help make this thing happen. PLEASE help, without your help this will not happen. Getting the bill is just the first step. THANKS for all your help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Barbara. NABA
