Statement “North Carolina moms are enormously grateful to Governor Stein for the veto he issued today, keeping our state’s concealed carry permit requirement in place. Right now, someone in our state dies from a gunshot wound every five hours. Moms know that enacting Senate Bill 50 would have a devastating impact, potentially increasing gun violence and casualties even more by allowing people as young as 18 – who have not been cleared by background checks or trained on how to handle concealed weapons – into our communities. It is reckless legislation that would put us all in danger.

Statement “We are seeing the best and worst of our country. Millions of people demonstrated peacefully to protect our democracy last weekend, while the country struggles to cope, once again, with horrific politically motivated shootings. Two Democratic Minnesota state legislators and their spouses were shot in their homes by an assassin who – based on what we know now – seems to hold hatred for Democrats, reproductive health care providers, and possibly also those who protested at No Kings events last Saturday. This was an unspeakable tragedy.

Statement “This Pride month and every month, moms are fighting for a future where everyone can live successful lives, care for their families, and contribute to their communities, free from discrimination and bias. There is much to be done to reach that essential goal, including closing the devastating wage gap the LGBTQIA+ community faces. Every day, LGBTQIA+ workers are shortchanged on their paychecks compared to their cis, straight counterparts, with transgender and LGBTQIA+ workers of color suffering the worst harms due to systemic racism, transphobia, and homophobia.

Statement “Ejecting, throwing to the ground, and handcuffing U.S. Senator Alex Padilla for simply asking a question of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at a Los Angeles news conference today sends a chilling message that everyone risks being assaulted if we ask a question of any Trump administration leader. What happened today is un-American, undemocratic, and an assault on our first amendment rights. The moms of America will not let this stand.That kind of violence is never acceptable – not against a U.S.

Statement “Replacing leading, qualified vaccine experts with unqualified skeptics and deniers on the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices threatens to put millions of our children at risk. America’s moms are alarmed and disgusted that U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired all 17 members of this important Committee, which advises the CDC – and that some of the replacements he is appointing are dangerous conspiracy theorists who are unfit to shape public health.

Statement “America’s moms are alarmed and horrified that ICE has been endangering children, separating families, and harming tax-paying members of our communities without any due process. When people in Los Angeles and across this nation stand up for their immigrant friends and neighbors to receive due process and be treated fairly, it’s democracy – not a rebellion that justifies military intervention in any way.

Statement “Today the NC House of Representatives took an important step toward stabilizing our state’s child care system – but moms, families and businesses are counting on lawmakers to do more. The appropriations included in the NC House budget of $60 million in year one and $80 million in year two to increase child care subsidy reimbursement rates, plus $25 million to lower parent co-pays, are a good start, but not enough to stabilize our child care system, strengthen our state’s industries and its economy, and provide the support working families and rural communities need.

Statement “The disastrous Republican budget the U.S. House of Representatives passed early this morning increases costs for families and hurts the economy, as it takes away access to health care, food and nutritional programs, education, and child and elder care in order to give trillions of dollars in tax cuts to billionaires and mega-wealthy corporations. It is a pure distillation of Republican priorities:
