Statement “Our nation’s moms and families want our food to be safe, our medical research to be rigorous and to shape health policies, our justice department to uphold the law and pursue justice without political agendas, and our military to welcome all skilled, capable people. Moms want our government to be run by highly qualified people with integrity, expertise, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the health, safety and well-being of every person in our country. Many of the nominees President-Elect Trump has announced so far fall short of those qualifications.

Statement “Governor Roy Cooper added to his proud, powerful record of support for North Carolina’s moms and families, businesses and economy, by issuing an executive order last Friday allowing state employees to take paid leave for bereavement if they lose a close family member or coworker. This is finger-on-the-pulse policymaking, especially in the wake of the devastation Hurricane Helene caused. Our state and our families will be better off because Gov. Cooper put this policy in place and made it retroactive to September 27 of this year.

News release WASHINGTON, DC – Gun violence is a crisis in the Latinx community. It is the leading cause of death for Latinx youth ages 15 – 19. Nearly 75,000 Hispanics were killed with guns in the United States from 2001 through 2021, and Hispanic/Latinx people are more than twice as likely to be killed by a firearm than white people. To identify and advance solutions to this crisis, 40 Latinx leaders from across the country met today with officials from the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, the Office of Public Engagement, and the Domestic Policy Council.

Statement “Latina Equal Pay Day is a sobering reminder that the wage gap Latinas face is extreme, harmful, unacceptable – and for the first time in two decades, it is widening. Because Congress has failed to take the necessary action to address wage discrimination in our country, Latina earners overall are paid just 51 cents on the dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic men. Because our nation hasn’t invested in a care infrastructure, Latina working moms are paid an even more disgraceful 41 cents for every dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic dads.
