We are pleased the share the following YWCA USA updates:
Tax Reform Vote: TODAY
The Senate is expected to take a vote on tax reform ANY MINUTE. YWCA USA does not support H.R. 1/S.1 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or any alternative legislation or amendments that similarly threaten the health, economic security, and safety of women, families, communities of color, and the non-profit sector. Earlier this week, we sent a letter to Congress detailing why we oppose this legislation. To learn more, see our fact sheet on this issue. Call your Member of Congress (202-224-3121) and tell them vote to no!
