Statement “North Carolina moms are urging Governor Roy Cooper to veto H.B. 10, which would make our state less safe, our schools less successful, and our economy less strong. This legislation is anti-immigrant, anti-education, and gravely harmful. It would force local sheriffs to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), undermining community trust in law enforcement while failing to protect immigrant victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and other crimes.

News release MomsRising, the nation’s leading moms’ advocacy group, launched in 2006 and with more than 1,044,000 members today, released a 30-second ad that will run online over the next three days, during the Moms for Liberty 2024 Summit. The spot, which keys off the “very demure, very mindful” TikTok trend, notes Moms for Liberty’s sponsorship of the ultra-right, anti-mom, highly unpopular Project 2025 and its support for book bans, bans on abortion and IVF, and an end to the Head Start program. The spot, featuring two women, says:

Statement “It is disgraceful that 16 Republican-led states were able to convince a federal judge in Texas to temporarily halt the Biden/Harris administration’s historic and humane Parole in Place policy. It removes barriers in order to help keep immigrant and mixed-status families together by allowing some undocumented immigrant spouses who are married to U.S. citizens and have deep roots in our country to get work permits and apply for green cards.

Statement “Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) women face a deeply damaging wage gap that creates hardship for them, their families, and communities. NHPI women working full-time, year-round are paid just 66 cents for each dollar paid to white men. When part-time and part-year workers are included as well, that figure drops to just 60 cents on a white man’s dollar. The disparity is shameful and punitive, and it must end.

Statement “This coming Monday, August 19th, the nation will take a major step to keep families together and strengthen our communities and our economy when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security begins accepting citizenship applications from certain noncitizen spouses of U.S. citizens who have been in the country for at least a decade.

Statement “Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is a brilliant choice for vice president. He’s lifted families, businesses and the economy by signing one of the country’s strongest paid family and medical leave bills into law, protecting access to abortion care, championing free school meals, signing a state Child Tax Credit when Republicans in Congress shamefully ended the expanded federal Child Tax Credit, overseeing record Affordable Care Act enrollment in Minnesota, and fighting to lower prescription drug costs for Minnesotans.

Statement “Moms' Equal Pay Day is a painful reminder that even as prime-age women are participating in the paid workforce at record-high rates, moms continue to face a punishing wage gap. Without action from Congress to root out workplace discrimination and build the care infrastructure our country needs, the wage gap will almost certainly remain unacceptably and alarmingly high.

Statement “When U.S. Senate Republicans killed a temporary expansion of the Child Tax Credit today, they rejected a policy that’s proven to lift our economy and to be a sure-fire way for people to have the tools they need to be able to work, take care of their families, and contribute to their communities.

Statement “An Illinois mom called 911 for help. She needed care, safety, and concern but, instead, one of the police officers who responded shot her in the face. A mom is dead, a family devastated, a community immeasurably harmed by yet another racist, wholly unjustified police murder. Tragically, nobody should be surprised.
