A number of celebrity moms have joined forces to put pressure on the Biden administration to provide a higher stimulus check for mothers.
Alyssa Milano, Charlize Theron, Eva Longoria and more have joined calls to urge Joe Biden to support moms amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The campaign is led by Girls Who Code CEO Reshma Saujani and asks president Biden to put into place a Marshall Plan for Moms. This is not an isolated incident it is a national crisis, and we can start to address it within the first 100 days of this administration, Saujani said. In December, all the jobs lost in the U.S. economy were lost by women. And the situation is particularly bad for Black women, 154,000 of whom left the workforce entirely. We need to put in place a plan for moms, and we need it now.
