Statement “On Wednesday, Virginia’s state legislature joined with Governor Abigail Spanberger to enact the paid family and medical leave and earned sick days bills Virginians have long wanted and needed. The state will be immeasurably stronger, healthier, and more successful when those laws take effect in 2028, allowing 3.2 million working people to take paid time off to recover from serious illness or injury, or to care for a seriously ill family member without losing their paycheck or their job.

Statement “It is appalling that in the United States today, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women, including those who work part-time and seasonally, are paid just 83 cents compared to their White, male counterparts. AANHPI communities are incredibly diverse, and sweeping averages obscure the full extent of the harm the wage gap is causing – for example, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) women are paid just 59 cents for every dollar paid to White men, and many ethnicities are paid even less.

Statement “The budget proposal the Trump administration released this morning has all the wrong priorities. It fails to support the programs moms and families rely on to raise our families and contribute to our communities, while boosting military spending to unprecedented levels and continuing harmful spending on ICE and Border Patrol.

Statement “President Trump’s comments yesterday, that the federal government ‘can’t take care of daycare,’ are deeply and profoundly disturbing, short-sighted, and just plain dumb. Our country’s devastating child care crisis is one of the greatest challenges facing moms, families, and businesses, and an enormous drain on our economy. Walking away from it would be malpractice for any President and is especially rich from one who claims to know how to make our economy succeed.

Statement “In every corner of the country, as families are being crushed by soaring costs and a worsening care crisis, Equal Pay Day is a searing reminder that women and moms must navigate these affordability challenges without the full paychecks we deserve. Women working full-time and year-round in the United States are paid just 81 cents for every dollar paid to men. That figure widens to a disgraceful 76 cents on the dollar when part-time and seasonal workers are included – roles many women must take because they are juggling work with family caregiving.
