Statement “Forty years after the Pregnancy Discrimination Act became law, pregnant workers in this country still face discrimination every day. It is disgraceful that so many working women are fired or denied jobs or promotions simply because they become pregnant. Too many others are denied the reasonable accommodations they need – like being allowed to carry bottles of water, take more bathroom breaks, or use stools – that would allow them to keep a paycheck at the moment they need it most.

Statement “At a time when net migration to the United States is declining, it is misleading – as well as hateful – for President Trump to demonize peaceful, asylum-seeking Central American families. Calling in the military is a misuse of his power and a calculated political ploy.

Statement “Last year, when Republican leadership in the United States Senate failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which for the first time made affordable health coverage available to tens of millions of people with pre-existing conditions, the Trump administration vowed to sabotage and roll back its protections. In a two-fold effort this week, the administration is making good on that unethical promise yet again with new federal policy on 1332 waivers and expansion of Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs).

Statement “The Trump Administration is doubling down on its disgraceful family separation policy at the border, ignoring federal court rulings and the millions of Americans calling for an end to family separation and imprisonment. Instead of stopping this abuse, the White House is giving family separation a makeover and hoping no one will notice.

Statement “Our country is more divided, our highest court is less legitimate, and our elected officials are less credible after the United States Senate voted today to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to a lifetime appointment on the U.S. Supreme Court. This was a shameful, unforgivable vote – and every Senator who supported Kavanaugh will be held accountable, not just for today’s vote but also for the hardship and pain it brings to millions of women, moms, and families in the months, years, and even decades ahead.
