Statement “Today is Equal Pay Day 2017 – the day that marks the appalling fact that it takes 15 months for women to be paid what men are paid in a year. It takes mothers and women of color even longer. That's just shameful.    “And while we find the very need for Equal Pay Day incredibly frustrating, we are at the same time inspired that Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Rosa DeLauro persist in their efforts to close the gender wage gap and have chosen today to reintroduce the Paycheck Fairness Act.

Statement “Neil Gorsuch’s appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court would move the Court in a dangerous direction, one that threatens the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, people of color and workers.

Statement “Today’s incredible win demonstrates the true power of the grassroots movement that has sprung up to resist the Trump administration and the GOP’s destructive agenda to gut health care.

Statement “In a callous attempt to win over the more extreme members of the conservative right, US House Republican leaders are reportedly adding several dangerous provisions that threaten the health and wellbeing of women and families to their health care bill. The American Health Care Act was already a terrible bill that would make health insurance less affordable, less accessible, and less comprehensive, taking coverage away from tens of millions of families and offering fewer protections at higher costs to those who still have health insurance.

Statement “The budget blueprint the Trump administration released today is an attack on our families, our communities, our economy and our country. Simply put - American families, and our economy as a whole, would be worse off if Congress adopted this budget, which prioritizes building walls over building schools, expensive new weapon systems over investing in our nation’s children, and corporate interests over common sense.

Statement “Today the Maryland State Senate passed SB 230, the earned sick days bill with a veto-proof majority, clearing another hurdle for this commonsense, badly needed legislation. There are still some steps to take before the bill lands on Governor Hogan’s desk but, when it does, we urge him to immediately sign it into law. Gov. Hogan should reconsider his threat to veto it.

Statement “Once again, our nation’s legal system has done its job in recognizing that while the Trump Administration may have changed some of its language around the controversial Muslim travel ban - their intent remained the same. And that intent is a violation of our U.S. Constitution and our country’s values. This new Executive Order is sadly more of the same: Unconstitutional state-sanctioned Islamophobia and discrimination that betrays our values and contributes nothing to security.

News release WASHINGTON, D.C. – A powerful coalition today released a paper that offers lawmakers a blueprint for using tax reform to improve the standard of living for children in the United States. At a time when nearly half the nation’s children – and more than three in five children of color – live in poor or low-income households, the paper is both a stirring call to action and a roadmap to help Congress use tax reform to address this problem, which stifles America’s growth and prosperity.
