Statement “Black women are the backbone of our economy and our communities, but we face outrageous wage discrimination that undermines our economic security, our families’ wellbeing, and our country’s economy. The numbers are grim: Black women in the United States are paid just 66 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men who work full-time year-round. That gap widens to 64 cents when we look at all Black women earners, including those in full- and part-time jobs and who work part-time and part-year, as well as full-time and year-round.

Statement “Our country will be sicker and hungrier, less fair and less successful, and families will face much higher costs because congressional Republicans completed passage of their monstrous budget reconciliation bill today. When President Trump and his Republican leadership celebrate this victory, they are celebrating the hardship, higher costs, and pain they are visiting on America’s moms, kids, working families, small businesses, and our economy – all to further enrich billionaires and greedy corporations and also to pay for even more horrendous human rights abuses.

Statement “Today 50 U.S. Republican Senators put allegiance to President Trump and wealthy donors above their own constituents’ interests and wishes – and over our country’s future – by passing the Republican reconciliation bill. It will undermine our economy as it brings more hunger, more hardship, more avoidable suffering and deaths, more underfunded public schools, and higher costs for moms and families.

Statement “North Carolina moms are enormously grateful to Governor Stein for the veto he issued today, keeping our state’s concealed carry permit requirement in place. Right now, someone in our state dies from a gunshot wound every five hours. Moms know that enacting Senate Bill 50 would have a devastating impact, potentially increasing gun violence and casualties even more by allowing people as young as 18 – who have not been cleared by background checks or trained on how to handle concealed weapons – into our communities. It is reckless legislation that would put us all in danger.

Statement “We are seeing the best and worst of our country. Millions of people demonstrated peacefully to protect our democracy last weekend, while the country struggles to cope, once again, with horrific politically motivated shootings. Two Democratic Minnesota state legislators and their spouses were shot in their homes by an assassin who – based on what we know now – seems to hold hatred for Democrats, reproductive health care providers, and possibly also those who protested at No Kings events last Saturday. This was an unspeakable tragedy.

Statement “This Pride month and every month, moms are fighting for a future where everyone can live successful lives, care for their families, and contribute to their communities, free from discrimination and bias. There is much to be done to reach that essential goal, including closing the devastating wage gap the LGBTQIA+ community faces. Every day, LGBTQIA+ workers are shortchanged on their paychecks compared to their cis, straight counterparts, with transgender and LGBTQIA+ workers of color suffering the worst harms due to systemic racism, transphobia, and homophobia.
