Statement “The commitment by newly elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Governor Kathy Hochul to invest an additional $1.7 billion in child care is a huge step forward that will benefit moms, families, children, businesses, and New York’s economy. It’s a shining example of what government can do when lawmakers make it a priority to address the needs of working families, and it stands in stark contrast to the Trump administration’s decision to sacrifice urgently needed federal child care funding to its anti-immigrant bigotry.

Statement “The U.S. House took one very welcome, long overdue step today to alleviate the health care crisis tens of millions of families are facing by voting to extend the expiring ACA premium tax credits for three years. America’s moms thank every representative who voted for that bill today – and we are counting on the U.S. Senate to also pass a clean three-year extension of the ACA premium tax credits immediately.

Statement “More sick children – some of them desperately ill. More hospitalizations. More pressure on our already-stressed health care system. More medical expenses for families. More struggles for the tens of millions of working parents without paid sick time they can use to care for their ailing sons and daughters. More uncertainty and confusion for parents.

Statement “The Trump administration is positioning families, communities, businesses, and our economy to struggle and fail by threatening Child Care Development Block Grant funding. This move is short-sighted and harmful and may well cause grave and lasting harm to our underfunded, already-struggling child care system. Families need more child care solutions, not more chaos. It is truly appalling that the administration would do this based on unsubstantiated charges by a rightwing influencer known for spreading racist disinformation.

Statement “At last! Today four Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives joined with Democrats to force a vote on extending the premium tax credits that make health coverage affordable for tens of millions of moms and families. With those tax credits set to expire on December 31st, Speaker Johnson should hold that vote this week and the U.S. Senate should do the same.

Statement “The horrifying attacks on immigrant families that Republican leaders have unleashed are harming families across this country, undermining our already-struggling child and home care systems, and weakening our economy while terrifying, and too often unnecessarily and cruelly, separating, the immigrant families who make our communities and our economy stronger.

Statement “Today’s announcement, that the U.S. Department of Education signed agreements to transfer key functions to other federal agencies with no professional expertise in educating our children, is reckless, harmful, and unlawful. Further dismantling the Department of Education will undermine learning opportunities for children in every state, harming families and undermining our workforce, our economy, and our country as a whole for generations to come. Unfortunately, those who will face the grave impacts first will be students with disabilities and students from low-income families.
