Statement “Tonight, a President who is failing moms, families, and the country demonstrated once again how deeply and fundamentally out-of-touch he is with the realities of our lives and with the truth. President Trump delivered lies, delusions, and dangerous slurs. “His promise of an economic boom rings hollow with moms across America, coming from a President who is making parenting unaffordable while increasing the cost of health care, gutting education, undermining affordable child care, and causing the cost of groceries to rise.

Statement “America’s moms want a leader who recognizes our contributions and our struggles – and acts to make our families stronger and more successful.  Moms know what research shows: When we make families stronger and more successful, we make our economy and our country stronger and more successful, too. But that will only happen when child and elder care are affordable; when wages are fair; when paid family and medical leave is available to all; and when we invest in schools, food and nutrition, and quality health care, including maternal and reproductive care.

News release Washington, DC — Amid an escalating wave of militarized immigration enforcement, the Gender Equity Coalition (GEC), joined by 80 organizations and movement allies, delivered a letter today demanding that Congress use its constitutional oversight and funding authority to rein in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). 
February 12, 2026
Statement “America’s moms have been horrified for months as ICE and CBP have terrified communities, torn families apart, teargassed and shot peaceful protestors, racially profiled hardworking people going about their daily routines, and in other ways violated the basic human rights and constitutional protections of people in our communities. It is unforgivable that Republicans in Congress took money from the health care, food and nutrition, and education programs that families need to fund these cruel, lawless actions. It must end, and the U.S.

Statement “No one with stomach flu or strep throat should have to choose between going to work or losing a paycheck if they take time off to recover. No mom or dad should lose pay because they need to care for a sick child. No domestic violence or sexual assault survivor should go without pay for taking the time to obtain a restraining order. But moms, working people, and caregivers face those and other impossible choices every day because Congress has failed to pass a national earned sick days policy. That can change, now that the Healthy Families Act has been reintroduced in both the U.S.

Statement “Our state’s tax code is broken and that is creating a budget crisis that threatens the education, health care, and child care systems Washington’s working families rely on. Our budget crisis is putting moms, working families, small businesses, and our state’s economy in peril. The Millionaires Tax, now before the state legislature, is a long-term fix our state needs. It would help repair our state’s broken tax code by providing an estimated $3.7 billion annually to fund early education, schools, and health care, while cutting taxes for working families and small businesses.

Statement “Congress passed the Family and Medical Leave Act 33 years ago today, guaranteeing about three in five working people in our country unpaid, job-protected leave when a new baby or child arrives, a serious medical condition strikes, or a seriously ill family member needs care. That law was an important first step that generated enormous benefits. But in the 33 years since, lawmakers have failed to take the next step by passing a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program. Working people, families, businesses, and our economy are suffering as a result.
