Statement “The pause on federal funding the Trump administration announced last night has created massive fear and chaos nationwide. Moms are asking if their schools will be able to provide lunch to their kids tomorrow, if Head Start and child care programs will open, if WIC will still be available for infants and toddlers, and if SNAP will be accessible for groceries.

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.
