Statement “An 8-year-old and a 10-year-old shot dead as they prayed at their school church. Fourteen other children and three adults shot and wounded. A school full of children traumatized in ways that will change them, and their families, forever. A community and a country living in even more fear.

Statement “Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) women play a critical role in our communities and our economy – but continue to face a wage gap that is severe, deeply damaging, and totally unjustifiable. On average, NHPI women are paid just 65 cents for every dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic men. When part-time workers are included, that gap widens to an even more shameful 61 cents on the dollar. Today and every day, we demand bold action to address the root causes of this outrageous gap.

Statement “This week’s heartbreaking shootings in a Manhattan office building, at a Reno casino, near a streetcar stop in Atlanta, and more further demonstrate that the United States has become one of the world’s least free wealthy democracies due to the pervasive threat of gun violence. Many now fear going to work, going out for the evening, sending our children to school, or simply having loved ones leave our homes. A majority of Americans — 54% — have personally experienced gun violence or have a family member who has.

Statement “Reinterpreting public benefits may sound like Beltway bureaucracy but the Trump administration is using that strategy to cause devastating real-life harm to hardworking, tax-paying immigrant families. In doing so, the administration is undermining our health, schools, communities, and our economy.

Statement “Black women are the backbone of our economy and our communities, but we face outrageous wage discrimination that undermines our economic security, our families’ wellbeing, and our country’s economy. The numbers are grim: Black women in the United States are paid just 66 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men who work full-time year-round. That gap widens to 64 cents when we look at all Black women earners, including those in full- and part-time jobs and who work part-time and part-year, as well as full-time and year-round.
