Statement "Today’s announcement from JPMorgan Chase that: 'We will no longer bank the private prison industry,' is a tremendous victory for the moms, activists, and the more than 100 organizations in the #FamiliesBelongTogether Corporate Accountability Coalition, which MomsRising coordinates. These more than 100 organizations have worked tirelessly to end JPMorgan Chase’s financing of private prison companies, which are profiting from detention of immigrant families.

Statement “Today reminds us of the harmful, unjust pay gaps Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women face. We must remember that AAPI women are not a homogenous group, and certain ethnicities experience some of the most extreme, punitive wage gaps in the country. For instance, Burmese women are paid only 50 cents on average for every dollar paid to a white, non-Hispanic man, and Hmong women just 57 cents. AAPI moms face a wage gap of 74 cents on the dollar compared to white, non-Hispanic fathers.

Statement “It’s a new day, and a new Congress, and America’s moms are thrilled that so early in the year, the House of Representatives has passed H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, with a strong, bipartisan vote of 240-190. This basic, commonsense reform is badly overdue and the Senate should waste no time in passing it as well. This should be the beginning of a series of reforms that will collectively help end the scourge of gun violence that is taking more than 40,000 lives in our country each year.

Statement “The House of Representatives did what was right today by rejecting President Trump’s disgraceful, politically motivated, utterly bogus declaration of a national emergency. We strongly urge the U.S. Senate to do the same. Manufacturing a national emergency in order to build a wall the country neither wants, nor needs, is despicable – a gross violation of the President’s powers and a dangerous threat to the checks and balances our Constitution guarantees.

Statement “At MomsRising, we regularly hear from women experiencing unfair pay, who fear retaliation in their workplaces and therefore can’t speak up, and who need the protections the Paycheck Fairness Act would provide: freedom from retaliation; making it easier to collectively challenge pay discrimination; an end to the use of prior salary histories to set current salaries; and the additional protections that would finally move us closer to pay parity. Laura is one such woman…
