Statement “Just one day after the House of Representatives passed the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act, the U.S. Senate today passed the companion bill, the Maternal Health Accountability Act. We are thrilled to see Congress prioritizing the health and lives of pregnant women and treating maternal mortality as the national emergency that it is.

Statement “We commend both the U.S. Senate and House for passing a bipartisan Farm Bill that protects, instead of punishes, families at risk for hunger. In the end, Congress did the right thing for our families and our economy by including a Nutrition Title that protects SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and supports the moms and families that rely on it. SNAP is one of the strongest tools we have, as a nation, for combating poverty and hunger. Any attempts to create barriers to access or chip away at its funding would only harm our children and our economy.

Statement “The way New York City’s social service agencies, police and courts treated Jazmine Headley was a horror show – but sadly, not a surprise. Too many young mothers face mistreatment and abuse from the institutions charged with helping them. We need accountability and reforms now.

Statement “Even before his meeting with Democratic congressional leaders today, President Trump resorted to bluster and bullying in his effort to secure funding for a wasteful, unpopular, unnecessary border wall. His threat to shutdown the government if Congress doesn’t waste funds on this monstrosity are unreasonable. Our tax dollars should go to education, health care, job training, housing and other essential services, not to fund the President’s wall or support his callous, indefensible anti-immigration policies.

Statement “This weekend we became a country that uses tear gas on moms and babies seeking refuge at our borders. The cruel treatment of families trying to apply for asylum is horrifying and shameful, and it must end.
“We do not need to militarize our border. We do not fear moms and children. The Trump administration’s response was disproportionate and utterly without justification.

Statement “Nancy Pelosi is a force of nature, a brilliant strategist and a powerful champion for moms and families. She has been one of the most effective speakers of the House of Representatives in our country’s history, responsible for passage and defense of the Affordable Care Act, saving the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps), and advancing dozens of other measures that boost the rights of women, the economic security of families, and the strength of our economy. MomsRising is proud to support Rep.

Statement “President Trump’s post-election announcement – that his administration will effectively deny the moms, children and families who come here from Central America the chance to apply for asylum – is cruel, heartless and a violation of U.S. law and treaty obligations. It puts refugees with well-founded fears of persecution at risk of a return to persecution. The President does not have the authority to criminalize families that simply want the chance to live in peace.
