Mothers Matter and Caregivers Count Petition

We the undersigned believe the time is long overdue for our nation to recognize the economic contribution of mothers and all those who perform unpaid care work -- and to acknowledge the value and importance of caregiving to the stability and growth of our economy and our quality of life.

We urge you to support legislation to increase work/life balance, such as proportional benefits for part-time workers, and to reduce the economic risks for those who take time out of the paid workforce to raise a child or care for a loved one.
