Statement “The Biden-Harris administration made the right and just decision by re-designating Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) this weekend. America’s moms support this action because we are determined that our Haitian neighbors, friends and colleagues be allowed to remain with their families and in their jobs, especially at this time when it is clearly not safe for them to return to Haiti.

Statement “When the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Protecting Moms Who Served Act in a unanimous bipartisan vote yesterday, members took a very welcome step to improve maternal health, reduce maternal mortality, and improve the health of veterans in our country. This bill, the first part of the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act the U.S. House has passed, will codify and strengthen the Department of Veterans Affairs maternity care programs and support a badly needed comprehensive study to examine the unique maternal health risks facing pregnant and postpartum veterans.

Statement “The devastating health and economic harms caused by the pandemic have made a simple truth painfully clear: The United States economy isn’t working for moms, and wage discrimination is a major reason. Moms of color experience compounded wage discrimination and harms due to structural racism. We cannot have a just recovery without ending pay inequity and improving our inadequate care infrastructure, because they drive the shameful wage gap facing moms.

Statement “Chairman Richard Neal’s Building an Economy for Families Act is smart, responsive policy that meets the moment for America’s families. The country’s moms applaud the Neal plan’s comprehensive paid family and medical leave program, its measures to expand families’ access to quality, affordable child care provided by people who are paid a family-supporting wage, and the fact that it would make permanent the tax credits that have so much promise to help low-income families with children escape poverty.

Statement “Ma’Khia Bryant should be alive today. The police were called to calm the situation, not shoot and kill a child. There were alternatives – an endless number of alternatives – to using deadly force against a 16-year-old girl. Yet again police used unnecessary, unjustifiable lethal force against a person of color, with a tragic result.

Statement “George Floyd should still be here. A jury today convicted former police officer Derek Chauvin on all three counts for the murder of George Floyd, as was right. We know that a conviction alone is not justice and we stand in support of the family of George Floyd, the people of Minneapolis, and Black and Brown communities across the country who still face rampant police violence each and every day.
