Statement “The carefully documented, credible news reports that U.S. companies are exploiting and abusing migrant children is horrifying and absolutely unacceptable. Basic protections against child labor apply to migrant children too, and every employer that has exploited minors should face extreme penalties. That many of these children apparently did dangerous work during long, overnight hours makes these violations even more egregious.

Statement "Today, families across North Carolina are able to breathe a sigh of relief with the news that North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate Leader Phil Berger have reached a deal to pass Medicaid expansion. More than 600,000 North Carolinians have been stuck in our state’s coverage gap for much too long. We are thrilled that will finally end when North Carolina becomes the next state to expand coverage to low-income uninsured adults. The health of our state’s citizens is sure to improve as a result.

Statement “For years, MomsRising members have shared with us the heartbreaking choices they have been forced to make in order to afford insulin. Too many moms have had to struggle with the choice of paying for the insulin a child or family member needs or paying the rent and putting food on the table. Now, thanks to the pressure the Biden/Harris administration and congressional Democrats have been applying, Eli Lilly has agreed to cap insulin costs at a level most families can afford. This is a huge boost and relief for millions of families.

Statement “President Biden made an inspired choice in selecting Deputy Secretary Julie Su to serve as our next U.S. Secretary of Labor. She is a brilliant, proven leader and a powerful champion of low-wage and women workers, including moms, immigrants, and workers of color. She has deep knowledge of the challenges faced by moms in the workforce, the benefits a care infrastructure would provide, and the solutions we need.

Media advisory Three decades after the Family and Medical Leave Act became law, giving about three in five U.S. workers access to unpaid leave, the U.S. remains one of the only industrialized nations in the world without a national paid leave policy.

Statement “The dangerous, deeply misguided two-year rule issued by the Biden administration yesterday would deny and punish vulnerable asylum-seekers who seek refuge in our country to escape violence and persecution at home. This near-total ban on seeking asylum at our southern border would effectively prevent countless moms and families from exercising their right to seek safety in the United States, forcing them into situations where their lives are at grave risk.

North Carolina Moms Say ‘No’ to H.B. 10, Want Politicians to Welcome, Not Attack, Immigrant Families
February 22, 2023
Statement “It’s heartless. Mean-spirited. Divisive. Harmful. House Bill 10, now being considered in the North Carolina House of Representatives, would cause grave harm to immigrant families and communities and to our state. By forcing sheriffs to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), this legislation would put people suspected of minor infractions such as traffic violations at risk for detention for up to 48 hours, and ultimately for deportation. And it would undermine the wisdom and judgment of sheriffs throughout our state.

Statement “President Biden's State of the Union speech hit all the right notes. The moms of America know the state of our union can only be strong when the country’s moms and families are economically secure, we can all access and afford the health care we need — including abortion care, our tax policies require everyone to pay their fair share, and our immigration and public safety policies are sound. That is the vision President Biden offered the country tonight.

Statement “The country's moms thank the Biden/Harris Administration for lifting up paid family and medical leave, and for the victories with the PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, the 30% increase in child care funding, the extended health care coverage for post-partum moms, and more. This lift means the world to the millions of moms and parents in America who are struggling to get through each day.
