Statement “It’s been 32 years since Congress passed the FMLA, guaranteeing about three in five of the country’s working people unpaid, job-protected leave when a new baby or child arrives, a serious medical condition strikes, or to care for a seriously ill family member. That law was designed as a first step in boosting working families, businesses, and our economy, and it’s done that. But in all the years since, Congress has failed the country by not taking the next step and passing a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program. That needs to change.

Statement “It is hard to contemplate a candidate more unfit, unqualified, and problematic to serve as U.S. Secretary of Defense than Pete Hegseth. Hegseth has made numerous comments about women and moms serving in the military that are disrespectful, sexist, ignorant, insulting and truly outrageous. There are credible allegations that he has committed sexual assault and domestic violence and that he has a history of serious alcohol abuse and financial mismanagement. He is not only utterly unqualified, he has clearly exercised horrible judgment time and again.

Statement “America’s moms condemn many of the executive orders President Trump has issued in his first days in office, which will lead to less access to health care, expand the spread of disease, embolden discrimination, and increase fear and hardship. His executive orders do nothing to lower costs, make housing and groceries less expensive, or to make child care more affordable, paid family and medical leave more available, reproductive health care more accessible, gun violence less commonplace, or to reverse our devastating maternal health crisis.

Statement “Our country’s military families will be healthier and stronger because Congress included the Maintaining our Obligation to Moms who Serve (MOMS) Act in the National Defense Authorization Act both chambers have passed. It will improve the mental health of military moms by supporting a badly needed 5-year pilot program to prevent and treat maternal mental health conditions and bring evidence-based maternal mental health programs into the military’s health care system.

Statement “North Carolina moms are deeply disappointed that the legislators we elected made the terrible decision to override Governor Roy Cooper’s wise and necessary veto of H.B. 10, and make this horrendous, harmful bill our state’s law. This anti-immigrant, anti-education law will cause significant harm to North Carolina moms, families, schools, and our state’s economy. Beginning on December 1, our local sheriffs will be forced to collaborate with U.S.
