Statement “Good riddance to Matt Gaetz. Not only is he not qualified to be our nation’s top law enforcement officer, his disgraceful behavior since being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives should disqualify him from holding any public office.

Statement “America’s moms want all our children to be educated in excellent, inclusive schools. Our schools must cultivate learning for children of all abilities, welcome every student, teach accurate history, and prepare each child to succeed. Sadly, President-Elect Trump’s nominee to lead the U.S Department of Education, Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, is wholly unqualified to support those goals.

Statement "No one should ever be shortchanged on a paycheck because of gender, race, or indigenous identity – but today serves as a grim reminder that Native women continue to face an appalling wage gap driven by the legacies of colonialism and state-sanctioned violence. In the United States today, Native women overall are paid just 52 cents for every dollar paid to White men, and women in many tribes are paid even less. Native women who work full-time, year-round are paid just 58 cents to a White man’s dollar.

Statement “Our nation’s moms and families want our food to be safe, our medical research to be rigorous and to shape health policies, our justice department to uphold the law and pursue justice without political agendas, and our military to welcome all skilled, capable people. Moms want our government to be run by highly qualified people with integrity, expertise, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the health, safety and well-being of every person in our country. Many of the nominees President-Elect Trump has announced so far fall short of those qualifications.

Statement “Governor Roy Cooper added to his proud, powerful record of support for North Carolina’s moms and families, businesses and economy, by issuing an executive order last Friday allowing state employees to take paid leave for bereavement if they lose a close family member or coworker. This is finger-on-the-pulse policymaking, especially in the wake of the devastation Hurricane Helene caused. Our state and our families will be better off because Gov. Cooper put this policy in place and made it retroactive to September 27 of this year.

Nearly 75,000 Hispanics were killed with guns in the United States from 2001 through 2021, and Hispanic/Latinx people are more than twice as likely to be killed by a firearm than white people.
