Statement “Today marks the first-ever Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day, created to shine a light on the extreme wage gap disabled women face in our country today. It is an outrage that overall, disabled women are paid just 50 cents for every dollar paid to nondisabled men. Because of structural racism, disabled women of color are paid even less: Black and Native disabled women are paid just 45 cents and Latina disabled women just 44 cents on the dollar paid to nondisabled White men. Disabled women should not lose half their income – or more – to wage discrimination.

Statement “North Carolina moms are urging Governor Roy Cooper to veto H.B. 10, which would make our state less safe, our schools less successful, and our economy less strong. This legislation is anti-immigrant, anti-education, and gravely harmful. It would force local sheriffs to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), undermining community trust in law enforcement while failing to protect immigrant victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and other crimes.

News release MomsRising, the nation’s leading moms’ advocacy group, launched in 2006 and with more than 1,044,000 members today, released a 30-second ad that will run online over the next three days, during the Moms for Liberty 2024 Summit. The spot, which keys off the “very demure, very mindful” TikTok trend, notes Moms for Liberty’s sponsorship of the ultra-right, anti-mom, highly unpopular Project 2025 and its support for book bans, bans on abortion and IVF, and an end to the Head Start program.

Statement “It is disgraceful that 16 Republican-led states were able to convince a federal judge in Texas to temporarily halt the Biden/Harris administration’s historic and humane Parole in Place policy. It removes barriers in order to help keep immigrant and mixed-status families together by allowing some undocumented immigrant spouses who are married to U.S. citizens and have deep roots in our country to get work permits and apply for green cards.

Statement “Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) women face a deeply damaging wage gap that creates hardship for them, their families, and communities. NHPI women working full-time, year-round are paid just 66 cents for each dollar paid to white men. When part-time and part-year workers are included as well, that figure drops to just 60 cents on a white man’s dollar. The disparity is shameful and punitive, and it must end.

Statement “Moms' Equal Pay Day is a painful reminder that even as prime-age women are participating in the paid workforce at record-high rates, moms continue to face a punishing wage gap. Without action from Congress to root out workplace discrimination and build the care infrastructure our country needs, the wage gap will almost certainly remain unacceptably and alarmingly high.

Statement “When U.S. Senate Republicans killed a temporary expansion of the Child Tax Credit today, they rejected a policy that’s proven to lift our economy and to be a sure-fire way for people to have the tools they need to be able to work, take care of their families, and contribute to their communities.

Statement “An Illinois mom called 911 for help. She needed care, safety, and concern but, instead, one of the police officers who responded shot her in the face. A mom is dead, a family devastated, a community immeasurably harmed by yet another racist, wholly unjustified police murder. Tragically, nobody should be surprised.
