From AAUW-NYS Public Policy Director Donna Seymour:

Today, May 9, the New York Women’s Equality Coalition is hosting a Mother’s Day tweet rally from noon to 1 PM!

We need your help – legislators and the public need to know that moms and those who love them support the Womens Equality Agenda this Mothers Day. All you have to do is tweet using the hashtag #NY4Women from noon to 1 PM showing your support for the Womens Equality Agenda! We need as many people as possible to participate, so please share this with your networks.

If you haven’t already, please also “like” the New York Women’s Equality Coalition on Facebook and follow us on Twitter! Having a strong social media presence is key to this campaign.

Here are sample tweets – feel free to use as is or to make your own:
