Statement “Reducing inflation, lowering health costs for some families, taking historic action to help address the climate emergency, and finally asking the wealthiest corporations to pay their fair share are meaningful, historic accomplishments.

Statement “The Inflation Reduction Act, passed by the U.S. House this evening and the U.S. Senate last weekend, will make major, badly needed progress to reduce the cost of prescription medications and health insurance, make our tax code fairer, and help address the increasingly ominous climate emergency. The country’s moms are especially pleased that the bill will make health insurance more affordable for millions of people who might otherwise become uninsured next year; rein in Big Pharma’s greed and price gouging; and cap seniors’ out-of-pocket costs for medications to $2,000 per year.

Statement “America’s moms and families have renewed hope due to passage of the Inflation Reduction Act by the U.S. Senate. It will make significant, long-overdue progress to reduce the cost of health coverage and prescription drugs, make our tax code more fair by finally making wealthy corporations pay their fair share, lower energy costs, and help address the climate emergency.

Statement “In charging four current and former Louisville police officers with violating Breonna Taylor’s civil rights, the U.S. Department of Justice yesterday offered hope for long-delayed accountability for her tragic, disgraceful murder by police. Taylor was the victim of an illegal, no-knock drug raid on her home. She was shot eight times while she lay in her bed. The person the police claimed to be looking for had already been arrested and did not live there. It is worth saying that Breonna was not a suspect and had not committed a crime.

News release “Yesterday in Kansas, Democrats, Independents and Republicans, and people of all genders came together in record numbers to reject anti-abortion extremism and the dangerous post-Roe world the U.S. Supreme Court has created. The Dobbs ruling and the state abortion bans and restrictions it allows have already created immense suffering and chaos across the country, with low-income women and moms, women of color, young, rural and immigrant women, people with disabilities, and those who are LGBTQ+ suffering the most.

Statement “It’s been a long, arduous journey to the budget reconciliation bill announced late yesterday. While America’s moms and families celebrate the measures that will reduce prescription drug costs, continue Affordable Care Act premium subsidies for three more years, make our tax code more fair, and take some key steps to address the climate emergency, one thing has been constant throughout many months of this debate: Lawmakers have pushed aside, deprioritized, and ignored the urgent care-related needs that moms and families face and that our economy desperately needs.

Statement “America’s moms want lawmakers to stop using the immigration issue to score political points, stop refusing to adopt solutions, and begin taking constructive steps that will make our communities, our economy and our country stronger.
