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.

Statement “Last night, on the eve of the first day of the Lunar New Year, celebrated by millions of Asian Americans in the United States, a man opened fire at a dance studio in Monterey Park, killing ten and injuring ten more.

Statement “This weekend, instead of celebrating the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and all the promise it once brought, the nation continues to reel from last June’s cruel, horrific ruling by SCOTUS in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Make no mistake: America’s moms reject the dangerous post-Roe world the U.S. Supreme Court has created, and anti-abortion extremism in all its forms.

News release “The moms and families who seek asylum in the United States are trying to escape violence and persecution to protect and care for their children. It is disappointing that the Biden administration is adopting policies that will deny access to asylum for so many of them while putting unaccompanied children in danger and consigning thousands of vulnerable moms and families to grave physical harm when they are expelled to Mexico.

Statement The country’s moms and families won a major, meaningful, long overdue victory today when the U.S. Senate included the PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act in the FY23 budget bill. When lawmakers enact these two essential measures, breastfeeding moms will no longer be forced to pump breastmilk in bathrooms, cars, closets and cafeterias; and fewer pregnant workers will be forced out of their jobs because employers deny them reasonable accommodations like carrying water bottles and taking more bathroom breaks.
