Over the past year, the Supreme Court has ruled on a wide range of important issues. From voting rights and affirmative action to privacy rights and the environment, our nation's core laws and principles are undeniably shaped by the rulings rendered by the Supreme Court.

Imagine losing your job because you stayed home with your daughter when she had the flu.
In the US today, nearly 100 million workers risk losing pay or even their jobs when they take a day off work to care for a sick child or because of their own illness.
Congress has an opportunity to change this by passing the Healthy Families Act, legislation that would guarantee workers the opportunity to earn up to seven paid sick days per year -- days that could be used to care for themselves or a family member when they are ill, or in the case of domestic violence.
Help working families stay healthy: urge your senators and representative today to cosponsor the Healthy Families Act.

This week could make a huge difference in the effort to finally reform our broken immigration system. Hundreds of advocates are expected to descend on Capitol Hill with a single message to Congress -- immigration reform is needed now.
Their visits are part of an historic national campaign of labor, business, community, and faith groups, including NCJW, all united to move forward with just and humane immigration reform. Tell Congress that we cannot wait for just and humane immigration reform. Together we can make the difference!
