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.

That includes: a national paid family leave program; lower family costs for child care, pre-K, and prescription medications; fair wages; a $15 per hour federal minimum wage; a pathway to citizenship for immigrants; an extension of the expanded Child Tax Credit; a fair tax system that supports working families; and enactment of the Equality Act and protections for trans youth.

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.

Statement “At this time when the country’s moms and families are struggling with the pandemic, fast-rising prices, and our need to create the kind of care infrastructure every country needs, we are very pleased to learn President Biden will take time during his State of the Union address tomorrow night to discuss the importance of lowering families’ costs – including child care, pre-K, and prescription drugs – and adopting a comprehensive national paid leave program, as well as ensuring paycheck fairness, raising the minimum wage, and providing direct tax relief to struggling families.

Statement “America’s moms are horrified that Texas Gov. Abbott and Attorney General Paxton directed the state child welfare agency to treat and investigate standard medical care for transgender children as child abuse. It is not – and the cruelty and political calculation behind this move, and the harm it will cause, are horrifying.

Statement “President Biden made a brilliant choice by nominating D.C. Circuit Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. This nomination is historic and long overdue. Judge Jackson is a fair-minded jurist who will strengthen our highest court’s commitment to fairness, privacy, dignity, and equal rights for all. Her keen intellect and vast experience at every level of the federal court system, including ruling on more than 550 cases during her tenure as a District Court judge, is needed.
