Statement “Governor Roy Cooper added to his proud, powerful record of support for North Carolina’s moms and families, businesses and economy, by issuing an executive order last Friday allowing state employees to take paid leave for bereavement if they lose a close family member or coworker. This is finger-on-the-pulse policymaking, especially in the wake of the devastation Hurricane Helene caused. Our state and our families will be better off because Gov. Cooper put this policy in place and made it retroactive to September 27 of this year.

News release WASHINGTON, DC – Gun violence is a crisis in the Latinx community. It is the leading cause of death for Latinx youth ages 15 – 19. Nearly 75,000 Hispanics were killed with guns in the United States from 2001 through 2021, and Hispanic/Latinx people are more than twice as likely to be killed by a firearm than white people. To identify and advance solutions to this crisis, 40 Latinx leaders from across the country met today with officials from the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, the Office of Public Engagement, and the Domestic Policy Council.

Statement “Latina Equal Pay Day is a sobering reminder that the wage gap Latinas face is extreme, harmful, unacceptable – and for the first time in two decades, it is widening. Because Congress has failed to take the necessary action to address wage discrimination in our country, Latina earners overall are paid just 51 cents on the dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic men. Because our nation hasn’t invested in a care infrastructure, Latina working moms are paid an even more disgraceful 41 cents for every dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic dads.

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.
