Statement “Gov. Morrisey has created enormous stress and real panic for West Virginia moms and families by refusing to launch the clothing voucher program on schedule. Families in West Virginia are struggling mightily to put food on our tables and gas in our cars, to pay for the health care we need and the child care that allows us to work. The affordability and care crises gripping our state are affecting every aspect of our lives.

Statement “North Carolina moms applaud Gov. Josh Stein for signing the Public Workforce Modernization Act into law this afternoon. This bill, which our legislators passed late last week, will make our state healthier and more successful by expanding paid parental leave policies for state, public school, and community college employees to 12 weeks for full-time workers. In doing so, it will help address the affordability crisis facing families working for the state.

Statement “The long awaited state budget that our legislators passed today includes very welcome investments in child care, which is urgently needed and long overdue. Our state’s moms especially applaud the new statewide child care subsidy reimbursement rate floor because it offers promise to finally address our child care crisis, which has long been undermining the economic security of families, the success of businesses, and the fiscal health of our state.

Statement “Yesterday North Carolina lawmakers took an important step to make our state healthier and more successful, and to address the affordability crisis for families working for the state, when the state House passed the Public Workforce Modernization Act in a unanimous, bipartisan vote. The state Senate passed this bill, also in a unanimous vote, in June and we expect Gov. Stein to sign it into law. It expands paid parental leave policies for state, public school, and community college employees to 12 weeks for full-time workers.

Statement “America’s moms are breathing a sigh of relief that the U.S. Supreme Court rejected President Trump’s effort to undermine, with a stroke of his pen, a bedrock right that has been enshrined in our Constitution for 150 years. Birthright citizenship has made our nation stronger and more successful. The contributions of our immigrant friends, neighbors, family members, and colleagues have driven our economic progress throughout our history.

Statement “Today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Mullin v. Doe will have tragic implications, not just for the Haitian and Syrian immigrants who came to this country legally to escape dangers in their home countries, but also for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders from other nations – and for our communities and our country, which benefit mightily from their contributions.

Statement “Our nation has long suffered terribly because of the ‘guns everywhere’ laws that put us all at risk wherever we live, work, study, shop, or worship. America’s moms have long been fed up and exhausted by the fact that gun violence has become a tragic part of our everyday life – but our country took a giant step in the wrong direction today when the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated Hawaii’s commonsense gun restriction in Wolford v. Lopez.

Statement “Today, the country got yet another reminder that President Donald Trump’s priority is rigging elections to hold onto his personal power, not solving the affordability crisis that is driving hardship, hunger, homelessness, and poverty for millions of hardworking moms and families.

Statement “Our country should be doing much more to end the painful, unjustifiable wage gap contributing to shamefully high poverty rates for LGBTQIA+ adults. On average, LGBTQIA+ workers are paid just 90 cents for every dollar paid to cis, straight workers. Many are paid even less due to the intersection of racism, transphobia and homophobia, with transgender women and LGBTQIA+ Latinas facing the most punitive wage gaps.
