Pass Comprehensive and Paid Leave for All Workers

Please Help Protect Children from Online Abuse
The U.S. Senate just passed the Kids Online Safety Act, to protect children against Internet abuse, by 91-3, a bipartisan victory for all of us. Now it goes to the House, where it needs to get on the calendar for action and approval. Please contact your U.S. Representative, and ask them to do so. The First Five Years Fund opens in a new tab has a great webpage from which you can email, tweet, or phone your own U.S. Representatives. PEACE’s long-time friends and supporters at Fairplay for Children opens in a new tab can help as well.
