These inequities will likely persist if change if left to individual employers or localities. #RuralAmerica #PaidSickLeave #PaidLeave #NICHDImpact

  9. The #IWF, a #Koch Brothers-linked #Astroturf organization, was established in 1992 from #WomenforJudgeThomas, also likely a Koch-linked Astroturf group that backed Judge #ClarenceThomas' #SupremeCourt nomination despite #AnitaHill's #sexualharassment allegations.

    Since its founding, the group has consistently opposed measures that advance and safeguard women's rights, such as the #EqualRightsAmendment, #EqualPay, #TitleIX, #childcare, #paidleave, and other progressive policies.
