Statement “No mom or dad, no son or daughter, should ever have to fear a loved one could come to harm at the hands of those charged with protecting them. Yet look at the headlines. Thirteen-year-old Tyre King, as well as Keith Scott and Terence Crutcher, both fathers, were killed by police just this week. What's going on isn't right, it isn't fair, and it's not okay. It’s not only breaking our hearts, it’s breaking our nation. And it must stop.

Statement “In April, we marked Equal Pay Day, the day that symbolizes when women, on average had finally earned the same amount as men had during the 2015 calendar year. But that one day doesn't tell the whole story. In June we marked "Moms' Equal Pay Day" and in late August we marked "Black Women's Equal Pay Day." Today we're marking Native American Women’s Equal Pay Day (and Latinas' Equal Pay Day comes weeks later from now). The truth is we're tired of marking all of these days and we look forward to the day when we no longer need to shine a light on the women and mothers' wage gap.
