Statement “Millions of working families who are struggling to put food on their tables, gas in their cars, pay the rent, and buy school supplies and clothing for their kids are nonetheless filing taxes and writing checks to the U.S. Treasury today. It’s time – past time – lawmakers require our country’s billionaires and wealthiest corporations to do the same. It’s time the wealthy pay their fair share.

Statement “America’s moms are relieved that the Biden administration is putting an end to the use – or misuse – of Title 42, a policy started by the Trump administration to deny asylum-seekers a chance to seek safety in the United States. U.S. law allows people to seek asylum at our border and this policy has undermined our own law. In fact, Title 42 is a health law that should never have been used in this way. Moms would like to see it ended today, rather than waiting till May 23.

Statement “America’s moms look forward to a fair Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on D.C. Circuit Court Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to serve as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, followed by a favorable Committee report on this superbly qualified nominee. President Biden’s nomination of Judge Jackson was brilliant and historic.
