Senate GOP Tax Plan a Boon for the 1%, Puts Moms, Families Last

November 10, 2017
Billionaires, millionaires and wealthy corporations win, working families lose . That would be the outcome if the tax plan U.S. Senate Republicans unveiled today is adopted. It’s destructive and flat out immoral to cut taxes for the richest one percent and the wealthiest corporations while gutting...

Tearing Apart Families Is Never Acceptable

November 7, 2017
The Department of Homeland Security decision, announced last night, to withdraw Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from some 2,500 immigrants from Nicaragua is heartless and wrong.

TAKE ACTION: Close the Latina Wage GAP

November 2, 2017
I’m going to tell you something that’s going to make you mad. And then I’m going to tell you something we can do about it. Here we go: Right now in the United States, Latinas earn just 54 cents for every dollar paid to a white man and Latina mothers earn just 46 cents for every dollar paid to white fathers. [1,2] This horrifying wage gap is why we are raising our voices today to mark Latina Equal Pay Day, the day signifying that Latinas in the United States have to work ALL of 2016 and until November 2nd of 2017 to finally earn as much as white men earned in 2016 alone. → We can’t end pay discrimination and close wage gaps if employers can hide the fact they are paying women and people of color less than white men.
