  • Dear Member of Congress, As Your Constituent, I'm Writing to Welcome
    Dear Member of Congress, As your constituent, I'm writing to welcome you to the 114th Congress and send best wishes for the year ahead. As you address our nation’s opportunities and challenges in the new session, I urge you to consider the role that breastfeeding plays in giving mothers and their children important and long-lasting health benefits. These impacts are so substantial that “breastfeeding saves dollars and makes sense,” not just for FAMILIES, but also for EMPLOYERS and the ECONOMY. The great majority of pregnant women and new mothers want to breastfeed, but they face significant barriers in community, health care, and employment settings. While many national initiatives are already underway, you have a critical role to play as well. Thank you for your careful consideration of the following policy priorities you can move forward in the 114th Congress to help support breastfeeding: COMMUNITIES • Increase support for breastfeeding as part of existing community-based programs: e.g., the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) program, home visiting, Healthy Start, community health centers; • Authorize the FDA to regulate confusing and misleading infant formula marketing and labeling practices; • Support establishment of public spaces that are breastfeeding-friendly; HEALTH CARE • Maintain support for the CDC’s maternity care practice improvement initiatives; • Ensure equitable access to and effective implementation of insurance coverage for breastfeeding support and equipment, especially including alignment of Medicaid coverage to existing provisions for private plans and TRICARE; EMPLOYMENT • Extend the existing federal “Nursing Breaks” law to salaried workers and strengthen enforcement; • Establish paid family leave as a self-funded national insurance program that supports workers and businesses; and • Ensure that breastfeeding mothers can’t be fired or discriminated against in the workplace.

  • LEAG Leadership Rules
    APPENDIX B: ELECTION RULES for the PARLIAMENTARY LABOUR PARTY LEADERSHIP ELECTIONS – the principles and key elements of the system. Initially approved by New Zealand Council on August 25th 2013, last revised on October 1st 2014 1. Introduction and definitions This document establishes the principles and essential elements of the election system for the Leader of the Parliamentary Caucus of the New Zealand Labour Party (“the NZLP”), and provides the administrative rules for those elections. These rules are designed to provide certainty for what will happen in any given circumstance. The three sections of the Electoral College are made up of two entities and one grouping, namely the New Zealand Labour Party, the Parliamentary Labour Party (the Caucus) and the various Party affiliates. These three elements of the Electoral College are referred to as the sections through this document. This document is mandated by a series of constitutional amendments passed by the 2012 Annual Conference of the NZLP, summarised as follows: Election of the Leader of the Parliamentary Labour Party – the Leader must be a Member of Parliament; an election for the position of Leader is triggered if there is a vacancy, or if requested by a simple majority of Caucus (at any time), or if the Leader fails to obtain the support of 60% plus 1 of the Caucus membership in a vote held within three months after a General Election (and in February 2013, as a one-off); the Electoral College comprises 40% party members, 40% Caucus (both One Member One Vote), and 20% affiliates (varying voting systems); the first version of administrative rules will be developed by NZ Council, in conjunction with the Caucus, by end 2012.

  • Jobs & Families
    Hon Phil Goff Jobs & families Leader of the NZ Labour Party labour.org.nz SPEECH TO THE LABOUR PARTY CONFERENCE Energy Events Centre, Rotorua, 10AM Sunday, 13 September 2009. Eng a mana, e nga reo, e nga iwi o te motu. Tena koutou katoa. Talofa lava, malo e leilei, fakalofa lahi atu, kia orana, taloha ni. Namaste, assalam alicum, niman hou. Warm Pacific greetings. Can I acknowledge and thank Mike Rann, Premier of South Australia, for being with us today. Andrew Little and Moira Coatsworth, President and Senior Vice President of the party. Annette King, deputy leader - and I could not ask for a better one, or a better friend. My wife Mary, whom I fell in love with when I was 18, and my partner since we were teenagers. Too often she shoulders my obligations for me when Iʼm not there. Caucus colleagues, delegates and guests. I want to tell you the story of the woman who taught me why I should be Labour. When I was a child, she told me about the years of the early 1930s, during the Great Depression, when jobs were scarce, money was tight and times were hard for families. She and her husband migrated to New Zealand wanting the same things that have brought so many people to this country – a better life for themselves and their kids. She wanted her kids to learn skills that would ensure they had work. She wanted them to grow up not knowing hunger, homelessness, nor poverty in old age. She hoped that by working hard, they could build a good life for her children and grandchildren.
