Statement “America’s moms look forward to a fair Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on D.C. Circuit Court Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to serve as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, followed by a favorable Committee report on this superbly qualified nominee. President Biden’s nomination of Judge Jackson was brilliant and historic. She is a fair-minded jurist with exceptional credentials, who the U.S. Senate has already confirmed three times, each time with bipartisan support.

Statement “America’s moms want a democracy where everyone participates, every vote is counted, and every voice is heard. By adopting new restrictions that criminalize commonly used voting practices that have been legal for years, by creating an Office of Election Crimes and Security, and by instituting fines and prison sentences for helping people vote, the state’s GOP lawmakers are embracing shameful intimidation tactics when they should be working to strengthen our democracy.

Statement “The Biden administration’s move last Friday to stop using Title 42 to expel unaccompanied children seeking refuge in the United States is a step in the right direction, but not nearly enough. No asylum-seeking person or family should be forced to return to the dangerous conditions from which they fled without a hearing. Title 42 is not, and never has been, a public safety measure. It is a cruel, dangerous Trump policy that should be ended for all children and all adults. There is no justification for putting asylum seekers in harm’s way.

Statement “It’s discriminatory. Unfair. Harmful. Yet year after year, we mark Equal Pay Day because the wage gap that punishes women and moms persists. Why? Because Congress refuses to pass the solutions our country needs.

Statement “America’s moms are pleased that the FY22 budget that Congress passed last night will help lower costs for working families, create jobs, support some of the moms and families whose economic security has been undermined by the pandemic, make health care more affordable, and improve maternal health. We welcome the modest funding increases for food and nutrition, housing, and other essential federal programs in this budget, which for the first time in many years prioritizes the needs of moms and families.

Statement “As we mark six months since Texas’ draconian, devastating six-week abortion ban took effect, the U.S. Senate let the country down by failing to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which would mitigate the harm to moms and families from this and other state anti-abortion laws. We thank the U.S. Senators who supported and advanced the vote. We urgently need a federal law that protects the right to abortion in every state.
