Statement “America’s moms, parents, and caregivers have long been sounding the alarm -- and reaching out to members of Congress -- about the urgent need to build a care infrastructure to lift families, businesses, and our economy. We are celebrating the vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the Build Back Better Act. We thank every lawmaker who voted for it and commend Speaker Pelosi and the House leaders who worked incredibly hard to win passage of this vitally important measure, which will make it possible for moms, families, businesses, and our economy to thrive.

Statement “America’s moms are thrilled to see President Biden sign the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law this afternoon. It is a major and unprecedented accomplishment that will not only improve our roads and bridges but also ensure more children and families have safe drinking water, more families have Internet access, more of us can breathe clean air, and many more of us have good-paying jobs. While this is a huge and long overdue accomplishment, lawmakers’ work is not nearly done.

Statement “Nearly two years into a deadly pandemic that has upended life in America while taking 745,000 lives and infecting tens of millions, we are profoundly relieved that a safe, effective vaccine is now available for children ages 5 - 11. This vaccine will help safeguard the health of children and families, especially as we head into the colder months when people gather indoors much more. The vaccine the CDC approved yesterday will protect our kids from COVID, prevent hospitalizations and long-term COVID symptoms, and save lives.

Statement
“America’s moms and families celebrate the commitment to significant investments toward building the care infrastructure moms, families, businesses and our economy urgently need, including child care, home- and community-based services, living wages for care workers, and an expanded Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. We applaud the historic, unprecedented investment of $400 billion for universal pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds and affordable child care, and making refundability of the expanded Child Tax Credit permanent for low-income families.

Statement “We have become a nation in which low- and middle-income working people pay taxes but the wealthiest individuals and corporations do not. That has led to historic income and wealth inequality and further entrenched the punitive racial and gender disparities we are experiencing today. Quite simply, it needs to change. In a healthy democracy, everyone pays their fair share of taxes.

Statement “Tax fairness matters to America’s moms and voters, and it’s long past time for the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share of taxes. The Billionaires Income Tax would raise $250 billion in revenue over the next decade – more than enough to cover the critical investments moms and families are counting on, including paid family/medical leave, as we try to create a just recovery from the pandemic that will allow moms, families, businesses, and our economy to thrive.

Statement “For as long as MomsRising has existed, our members have shared horror stories about being forced to pump breastmilk in bathrooms, as well as cars, closets, coatrooms, and cafeterias, because they had no alternative. The U.S. House of Representatives took an important step to change that today by passing H.R. 3110, the PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act. If it becomes law, the PUMP Act will make life better for 9 million women of childbearing age who are without protections that would give them time and a private space to pump breastmilk at work.
