Jackson BPW is a sponsor of the Vital to Victory exhibit at the Lost Railway Museum in Grass Lake from Aug. 15 to Nov. 21. There is a $5 admission fee.
Vital to Victory features the often-untold lives of women in the rail industry, from early electric streetcar drivers to modern locomotive engineers. Women were initially only granted entry to these jobs during World War I and World War II when male employees were drafted into service.
We would like to encourage all to stop by and check out this exhibit.

Domestic Violence Awareness
From Haven of Oakland county
Consent is:
- Active - Just because a partner didn't say "no" doesn't mean they have given consent. Ask, because only Yes, means yes.
- Based on Equal Power - If someone is underage, drunk, asleep, or in another vulnerable position, they cannot consent.
- We must make a choice - We must make sure our partners feel free to say yes or no without pressure. If we aren't willing to take no for an answer, consent cannot happen.
- Process - Consent requires ongoing conversations with lots of trust. Just because someone says yes to making out doesn't mean they want to do anything else. You can change your mind at any time.

Courts Matter Michigan
NCJW | MI has established a coalition of diverse organizations in our community united in their efforts to ensure a well-functioning federal judiciary, composed of qualified individuals, who are committed to upholding our core constitutional values. These values include voting rights, workers rights, the right to privacy, freedom of speech, the separation of church and state, among many others.
Many Courts Matter coalitions have already met or have planned emergency meetings. State sign-on letters are being circulated addressed to the state’s senators, vigils and courthouse walks are being planned, and petitions are circulating. Most importantly calls are being generated to your senators — no one should be taken for granted or dismissed as “hopeless!” We urge you to share your activities on the Courts Matter listserv so that we can share them widely.
Here are some activities and actions for you to join and promote:
· Petition: Add your name to NCJW’s petition calling on the US Senate to honor Justice Ginsburg’s dying wish. Together let’s ensure her seat is filled only after every vote is counted.
· Contact our Senators: Call the Capitol Switchboard (202-224-3121) or find your senator here. Pick from this call script before the nominee is named, and use this one once the announcement has been made:
Hello, my name is [name] and I’m calling from [city, state]. I believe the vacancy on the Supreme Court must be filled by the next president. I urge the Senate to instead focus on providing relief for millions of Americans who are still suffering from the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, including the families and loved ones of the more than 200,000 people who have died, as well as the 20 million people who have lost their jobs. Responding to the urgent needs of women, children, and families requires the full attention of the Senate.
· Speak out on social media: Find sample language and graphics here.
· Leave a message for the Ginsburg family: We invite you to leave your messages of condolence here.

New Pay Gap Stats, Same Old Story
According to U.S. Census data released this week, the wage gap between men and women once again has barely budged. Women are still compensated just 82 cents for every dollar paid to men. Black women earn only 63 cents and Latinas 55 cents compared to what white men make. Stay tuned for AAUW's update of its annual research report, The Simple Truth About the Gender Wage Gap, which this year will focus on how racism influences the wage gap for women of color.

More Michigan Women in the News and History -- In Honor of LGBT history month
Mary Kay Henry
Mary Kay Henry is the first woman president of the two million-member Service Employees International Union (SEIU). After graduating from Michigan State University in 1979 with degrees in Labor and Industrial Relations and Urban Policy and Planning from the James Madison Honors College, Mary Kay began working at SEIU, one of the few unions hiring women as organizers at the time. As a researcher in California, she worked with janitors, public employees, and health care workers.
In 1986, Mary Kay served as coordinator for the strike at Kaiser Permanente hospitals (then the nation’s oldest and largest health maintenance organization) in Northern California that led to the most successful labor-management partnership in the nation. Since then she has held many positions within SEIU including: Director of Healthcare Division (1993), Southern California Organizing Director (2000), SEIU International Vice President (2004), and SEIU President (2010).
During her time at SEIU, Mary Kay helped pioneer SEIU’s use of card check agreements, non-traditional collective bargaining agreements, and system-wide health care organizing strategy. She has been Instrumental in Fight for $15 and a Union; in less than four years, more than 11 million Americans have won wage increases. In 2015, she was named one of Washingtonian’s most powerful women in Washington. Mary Kay is also the co-founder of SEIU’s Lavender Caucus, a gay and lesbian group within the international union dedicated to improving rights for LGBTQ people within unions and at the workplace.

NFBPWC News
The National Federation of Business and Professional Women's clubs (NFBPWC) develops the business, professional and leadership potential of women on all levels through education, advocacy, networking, mentoring, skill building and economic empowerment programs and projects.
The National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs (NFBPWC) of the United States of America is an affiliate of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women, which spans across five regions and over 110 countries of the world. In 2017 we celebrated 98 years of empowering women through our mission which is to develop the business, professional and leadership potential of women on all levels through education, advocacy, mentoring, networking, skill building and economic empowerment programs and projects.
President’s Message By: Megan Shellman-Rickard
Our organization has a heritage that connects to the women’s suffrage movement. I implore every single member to consider that the right to vote was won by our foremothers through generations upon generations of persistent rallies, demonstrations, picket lines, and protests. The 19th Amendment was not easily won, and it did not deliver that same right to all women in 1920. As we enter the election “season” of 2020 and we prepare to exercise this hard won right, it is essential to recognize that voting is imperative if we want to realize the goals of our advocacy platform. (Further reading: https://www.npr.org/2020/08/26/904730251/yes-women-could-vote-after-the19th-amendment-but-not-all-women-or-men). NFBPWC has a nonpartisan page on our website about voting: https://www.nfbpwc.org/advocacy.
We are committed to sharing information about voting and encouraging our members to exercise this right. As you mark your ballot, please consider that the Alice Paul Equal Rights Amendment stands first and foremost above all other items of our advocacy platform. It is your right to vote and I implore our members to consider every candidates’ position on the ERA as you complete your ballot. Our voices and votes matter – we are stronger together. A special thank you to the members who attended our first national workshop, Cultural Competency. California member, Sher Singh, will be continuing this series on October 24th and will be our guest speaker for the Board of Directors meeting on October 13th. In addition, we will be hosting more national events online to help us connect, grow, and learn. We are dedicated to living our mission statement by offering the opportunity for all members to develop their professional, business, and leadership potential.
Your Executive Committee and the Board of Directors has hit the ground running with an effort to create a more vibrant space for virtual interactions that span across the nation and globe. As we progress, each member has an opportunity to provide input and to find their unique path in this organization. We are a brilliant community filled with passion and tenacity. This is an opportunity to develop our potential in a safe and welcoming space. I challenge our members to find a way to bring ideas, projects, and their own light forward. The Executive Committee and Board of Directors welcome your participation – let us find a way to share your passion in collaboration with the NFBPWC. Email [email protected] for more information and let’s work together to make this organization everything it can be! Let us continue to light a path for our future that promotes solidarity, diversity, inclusion, innovation, and experience. Sending personal wishes of celebration, health, and progress around the globe.
Kind Regards, Megan Shellman-Rickard NBPWC President 2020-2022
October 13th: 5 PM PT, 6 PM MT, 7 PM CT, 8 PM ET
We will be including and sharing affiliate, federation, and club/chapter events on our NFBPWC calendar that are open and relevant to our National membership. Please send events and relevant information to [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Legislative Updates
CALL:
Senator Gary Peters: 1-202-224-6221
Senator Debbie Stabenow: 1-202-224-4822
TELL THEM TO:
Champion HEROES - 2 Covid Relief Bill!
TELL SENATORS PETERS & STABENOW:
- On October 1st, the U.S. House passed H.R. 8406, a $2.2 trillion "HEROES Act - 2" an update of the House's $3.4 trillion COVID relief bill that can be a lifeline of support for state and local governments and provide health and economic aid to families who need it most.
- The U.S. Senate is scheduled to be at work this week, even if some committees may not be meeting due to the COVID-19;
- The virus continues. Millions have lost their jobs, lost their health and paid leave coverage, face evictions from their homes, lack access to the internet and have difficulty putting food on the table;
- Urge our Senators to be CHAMPIONS for passing a comprehensive COVID relief bill like the HEROES Act - 2 recently adopted in the House.
On October 1st, the U.S. House passed H.R. 8406, a $2.2 trillion "HEROES Act - 2" an update of the House's $3.4 trillion COVID relief bill that included a lifeline of support for state and local governments and and economic aid to families who need it most. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who's been negotiating with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi all last week, has offered a $1.6 trillion relief package. Although there is a $600 million difference between the two bills, the divisions also are a matter of values. Republicans want to give $150 billion in benefits for some of the wealthiest people in the country. Democrats have proposed $149 billion for children, according to Rep. Pelosi. Republicans also want to shelter businesses, e.g., nursing homes, from liability when they risk the health of their customers or patients during the COVID pandemic.
On October 3rd, in his first act while in the hospital, President Tweeted "OUR GREAT USA WANTS & NEEDS STIMULUS. WORK TOGETHER AND GET IT DONE. Thank you!"
So, in spite of everything, a deal is possible. We are concerned that the virus continues. Millions have lost their jobs, lost their health and paid leave coverage, face evictions from their homes, lack access to the internet and have difficulty putting food on the table. The House covid relief bill includes provisions that help. We need to urge our two Michigan Senators to become champions for COVID relief legislation. They need to push Senators to pass a robust package.
Here are provisions in the HEROES Act - 2 that were adopted in the House:
- Restores weekly enhanced unemployment benefits to $600;
- Extends the small business Paycheck Protection Program, which expired in August;
- Allocates $28 billion for a vaccine and $2 billion for more personal protective equipment for industries significantly affected by COVID;
- Increases federal spending on Medicaid;
- Provides additional individual direct payments up to $1,200/person;
- Sustains paid sick & family leave provided under the CARES Act to December 31st. It includes the Restaurants Act that includes paid sick leave for restaurant workers;
- Provides $436 billion for state & local governments and a 15% increase in Food Stamps; and
- Increases funding for schools, airline workers and COVID testing.
TIME FOR ACTION!
- CALL our Senators this week (see talking points at top of this alert). Urge them to be champions for a more comprehensive COVID relief bill;
- Tell them you oppose letting businesses, e.g., nursing homes, be sheltered from liability when they risk the health of their customers or patients during the COVID pandemic.
- Tell them the health of our families, our communities and our country need bold commitments to protect us from sinking deeper into the COVID-19 quicksand.
MUUSJN is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization that works with 26 UU congregations and progressive faith and secular allies for justice.
