Statement “Today the NC House of Representatives took an important step toward stabilizing our state’s child care system – but moms, families and businesses are counting on lawmakers to do more.

Statement “The disastrous Republican budget the U.S. House of Representatives passed early this morning increases costs for families and hurts the economy, as it takes away access to health care, food and nutritional programs, education, and child and elder care in order to give trillions of dollars in tax cuts to billionaires and mega-wealthy corporations.

Statement “A skyrocketing cost of living. A Trump trade war that will drive costs even higher. Zero guaranteed paid family and medical leave or paid sick days. Soaring child care and health care costs. Cruel, harmful Republican efforts to cut nutrition, health care, early learning, and education funding. And punishing, persistent wage discrimination that causes unfair pay. Moms’ Equal Pay Day tomorrow, Tuesday, is a painful reminder that moms must navigate the crises of this moment without fair paychecks.

Statement “There’s no question that families need policies that make it possible for moms and parents to care for their kids, go to work, and contribute to their communities. That’s why moms across the country are demanding quality, affordable child, elder and disability care; fair pay; access to maternal and all health care; and paid family and medical leave for when we have babies, our kids get sick, or we need to provide elder care or recover from serious illness.
