Statement "Year after year, Native Women’s Equal Pay Day serves as a painful reminder that the wage discrimination Native Women face is an extreme, persistent and incredibly damaging reminder of the legacy of the horrific colonialism Native peoples have endured. Right now in the United States, Native women overall are paid just 55 cents for each dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. Native women working full-time, year-round are paid just 59 cents on the dollar, and women in some tribes are paid even less, with many earning less than half what white, non-Hispanic men are paid.

Statement “While we are glad that Congress was able to reach a bipartisan agreement to keep the U.S. government open and temporarily funded, lawmakers neglected to address some key funding shortfalls affecting millions of families with young children. There are two urgent crises facing the country’s moms and young families, with grave ramifications for businesses and our economy, and Congress missed an opportunity to address both in its Continuing Resolution.

Statement “Hungry babies. New moms without breastfeeding support and without the assistance they need to afford formula. Toddlers going without fresh, nutritious produce because their families can’t afford it. All that will be commonplace if Congress doesn’t provide emergency funds for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in the government funding package it must pass in the next week to avert a painful, unnecessary government shutdown.

News release In red, blue, and purple states, voters across the country sent a clear and convincing message Tuesday rejecting an extremist education agenda, which censors our history, bans books, harms our students, stigmatizes trans students, LGBTQIA+ students and educators, and students with LGBTQIA+ parents, and would give future generations fewer rights than their parents had.

Statement “In yesterday’s election, voters across the country stood up for kids and repudiated Moms for Liberty and its bigoted agenda of book bans, discrimination, and taking away our choices. Let’s be clear: Moms for Liberty has never represented America’s mothers and families – and its effort to ‘mom-wash’ an agenda of hate is failing.

Statement “By passing a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to abortion and other reproductive health care, Ohio’s pro-choice majority today delivered a clear, unmistakable repudiation of the Republican anti-choice agenda and the tricks and deceits Republicans used to try to deny Ohioans this basic health care. Ohio now joins six other states, including Republican-leaning Kansas, Montana, and Kentucky, in rejecting the anti-abortion laws Republicans are trying to force on us all.

Statement “It is terribly disappointing that the Georgia Supreme Court is allowing the state’s devastating six-week abortion ban to stand while a lower court reconsiders it. Every day access to abortion care is restricted or denied is a day when the health and lives of moms and pregnant people are endangered.
