Monday: Labor, Healthcare, Latino, Environmental, Progressive Leaders to Announce Recess #DoYourJob Events

Mary Kay Henry, Cecile Richards, María Teresa Kumar, Michael Brune, Brad Woodhouse to Discuss Actions By Wide Range of Constituents in Nine Key States

WASHINGTON-Leaders from the labor, healthcare, Latino, environmental and progressive movements will hold a press call this Monday, May 2 at 11:00 a.m. ET to announce actions being taken by Americans to tell their senators to stop playing politics with the Supreme Court. The actions coincide with the U.S. Senate's recess, when yet another week will go by without a hearing or up-and-down vote on Chief Judge Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court.

The speakers will discuss how working families are getting a very simple message to senators who are enabling the unprecedented obstruction of Judge Garland's nomination: we do our jobs every day. We elected you to do the same. Extremists have been pushing cases to the Supreme Court that threaten the freedoms American families hold dear: women's rights to reproductive healthcare; the right of families to stay together; our right to have a voice in a union. In the face of these attacks, the members represented by the speakers on Monday's call are joining together in unprecedented numbers to make sure their voices are heard.

WHO:             Mary Kay Henry, SEIU International President
                        Cecile Richards, President, Planned Parenthood Federation of America
                        María Teresa Kumar, President & CEO, Voto Latino
                        Michael Brune, Executive Director, Sierra Club
                        Brad Woodhouse, President, Americans United for Change

WHAT:           Press Call to Announce #DoYourJob Recess Events

WHEN:           Monday, May 2, 2016
                        11:00 a.m. ET

RSVP:             Please contact Sara Lonardo, [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>
