Workshop

The United States is in a caregiving crisis. The pandemic has thrown into sharp relief a system that isn’t just broken—it’s never worked. Child care and elder care are unaffordable. Paid leave, nonexistent, with the US trailing all other developed countries. And caregivers themselves work for horrifyingly low wages—all because we assume that when a crisis strikes, women will just figure it out. Join The Meteor for The Caregiving Crisis: What Comes Next on Monday, February 28th at 5:30pm ET to find out how we can get our country to make caregiving a priority.

On December 1st, the Supreme Court will hear a case in which the state of Mississippi has asked the Court to overrule Roe v. Wade and end the constitutional right to abortion. It will be the first time since 1973—the year of Roe v. Wade—that the Court will rule on a pre-viability abortion ban. Join The Meteor and the United State of Women for a briefing on what the fight for reproductive freedom will look like in 2022 and beyond.

After historic voter turnout during the 2020 election, many states retaliated: This year alone, 19 states have enacted 33 laws that make it harder to vote. With the 2022 midterm elections looming, there is so much at stake. What can we each do to protect voting rights in the year ahead? Please join The Meteor to find out: Advocates and legal experts will give us an overview of the current crisis and share how we can all take action.
