Statement “As President Trump’s latest tariffs promise to drive prices even higher, today is a painful reminder that Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women must cope with the devastating impacts of his trade war while also facing discriminatory pay practices. Overall, AANHPI women are paid an unacceptable 83 cents for every dollar paid to White men. But averaging across such a wide range of identities is dangerously misleading, and obscures the reality that many AANHPI subgroups face much more painful wage gaps.

Statement “America’s moms are alarmed and outraged that the Trump administration is making devastating cuts to staff, grants, and programs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which runs numerous agencies that are vitally important to our health and wellbeing. Nothing matters more to America’s moms than a government that ensures our food is safe and provides health information we can trust, care we can count on, medications we can afford, and coverage that meets all our needs.

On Equal Pay Day 2025, Moms Fear the Punitive, Appalling Wage Gap Will Get Even Worse Than It Is Now
March 25, 2025
Statement “83 cents. That is how much America’s full-time, year-round women workers are paid for each dollar paid to men, according to 2023 Census data. The wage gap widens to an even more appalling 75 cents when you consider all earners, including full-time, part-time, and part-year workers. And for the first time in 21 years, the gender-based wage gap actually grew in 2024.

Statement “It was frankly stomach-churning this afternoon to see President Trump and his Republican cronies celebrating an Executive Order that will cause grave and irreparable harm to our children. There is nothing to celebrate about an Order that guts the education system we rely on to prepare them to contribute to our economy and our society. Today’s Executive Order will undermine the success of our students and the viability of our workforce, now and for years to come.

Statement “As a Japanese American whose grandfather and his immediate family were incarcerated for two years without cause during WWII, seeing President Trump invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1789 to deport immigrants now is deeply, terribly painful. It is a cruel, unnecessary assault on our fundamental freedoms to deport people to prisons in El Salvador without providing any due process.

Statement “We are horrified and saddened that the Trump administration is resuming the cruel, unjustified, deeply damaging practice of detaining immigrant children and families. There is a huge body of evidence showing that this causes deep, lasting trauma to children while doing nothing to make our communities safer.

Statement “America’s moms are horrified that President Trump is looking to shutter the U.S. Department of Education. Let’s be clear: Attacks on our public education system are attacks on our children and their future. Congress has the authority and the responsibility to quickly and decisively reject this destructive, counterproductive move.
