Statement “The Supreme Court’s ruling in Hobby Lobby v. Burwell was a serious blow to women across the country – including many moms – who use birth control. Reliable birth control that permits women to manage how many children to have, and when to have them, has been nothing short of revolutionary—not just for women and mothers, but for our country as a whole. It's improved the health of women and their families, as well as given women and mothers increased access to economic and political power unlike any other time in history.

Statement “The Seattle City Council’s vote today to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour is nothing short of historic. This will give Seattle the highest minimum wage in the nation and one that truly constitutes a living wage. Right now, an estimated one in four Seattle workers makes much less than that, and those workers are disproportionately women, moms, and people of color. Seattle will soon become a better place to work, live and raise families.
