Statement “Today is Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day, when we focus on the shameful fact that women with disabilities in our country are paid just over half of what men without disabilities are paid each year. There are more than 3.9 million women with disabilities in our nation’s workforce who do vitally important work yet, including those who work part-time and part-year, they are paid just 56 cents for every dollar paid to men without disabilities.

Statement “President Trump is taking a literal wrecking ball to the White House and also to the democratic institutions we hold dear. He recently bragged that he ‘took the freedom of speech away’, which is a violation of our U.S. Constitution. America’s moms are horrified and fed up.

News release “At 2,700 events around the country – and the world – on Saturday, America’s moms helped power the largest demonstration in modern history, sending the message that we won’t let this President trample our Constitution, destroy our democracy, take away our health care, undermine our schools, militarize our streets, ignore due process and disappear our immigrant neighbors, or silence any one of us. MomsRising was a national organizing partner for No Kings.

Statement “Ten years ago, we marked the first Latina Equal Pay Day to shine a light on the extreme wage gap Latinas face – and a decade later, Latinas are still being shortchanged, losing nearly half our paychecks to this appalling discrimination. Every one of our elected leaders should be outraged that in our country today, Latinas working full-time, year-round are paid just 58 cents on average for every dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic men.

Statement “Republican leaders control the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, and the White House, which makes a government shutdown entirely in their control and their responsibility to fix. This fact is not lost on the moms of America. Also not lost on the moms of America is the fact that our country is facing a health care crisis the Trump administration and Republican leaders in Congress created with their unprecedented, reckless cuts to Medicaid and their refusal to extend the premium tax credits that make health insurance affordable for tens of millions of moms and families.

Statement “The Continuing Resolution (CR) that Republican leaders in Congress proposed this week is wrong for the country. It would continue to gut health care for families and raise costs. America’s moms want Republicans to join Democrats in Congress to pass a funding bill that boosts working families; makes food, housing, child care and other basics affordable; funds public schools, women’s health, and life-saving scientific research; and repairs the health crisis Republicans in Congress caused by restoring funding for Medicaid and Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Statement “The reintroduction of the FAMILY Act makes this a hopeful day for America’s moms and families, who are struggling without the basic policies that make it possible to meet the demands of work and family, and for businesses and our economy because its enactment would help them thrive. But that hope will only be realized if this essential bill becomes law very soon.

Statement “An 8-year-old and a 10-year-old shot dead as they prayed at their school church. Fourteen other children and three adults shot and wounded. A school full of children traumatized in ways that will change them, and their families, forever. A community and a country living in even more fear.
