Statement “Our communities and economy could not function without the paid and unpaid labor of moms, but Moms’ Equal Pay Day is a searing reminder that our work is undervalued, unsupported, and underpaid – with moms of color experiencing the worst harms. It is appalling and disturbing that Black moms are paid just 47 cents, and Latina and Indigenous moms just 41 cents, for every dollar paid to White dads. Moms overall are paid just 64 cents on a dad’s dollar.

Statement “The EEOC vote to stop EEO-1 data collection, which measures wage disparities in our country, is an absolute disgrace. It is a transparent attempt to hide the race- and gender-based wage discrimination that is causing so much harm to working moms, women, and people of color, and to families, communities, and our economy. But America’s moms will not be fooled. We know very well that hiding, or refusing to measure, wage discrimination won’t make it any less pervasive or painful.

Statement “65 cents. That’s how much Black women working full-time are paid on average for every dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic men in our country today. When part-time and part-year workers are included in the data, this shameful wage gap widens to an even more punitive 63 cents on the dollar. Today is a painful reminder that the wage discrimination Black women face continues to drain much-needed resources from our families, communities and our economy, as our nation’s affordability and care crises worsen.

Statement “Gov. Morrisey has created enormous stress and real panic for West Virginia moms and families by refusing to launch the clothing voucher program on schedule. Families in West Virginia are struggling mightily to put food on our tables and gas in our cars, to pay for the health care we need and the child care that allows us to work. The affordability and care crises gripping our state are affecting every aspect of our lives.
