Statement “This morning we woke up to a very different America than the polls predicted. Many of us are reeling. Some of our children have difficult questions about their own safety, about their friends, and about the future of our country. But moms never give up, and we never stop fighting to make sure that the United States is a place where every child and family, every mom and dad, and every person can thrive.

Statement Today, November 1st, is Latina Equal Pay Day - a day to mark how Latinas in the United States have to work ALL of 2015 and until November 1st of 2016 to finally earn as much as white men earned in 2015 alone. On average, Latina women make only 54 cents for every dollar paid to a white man for equal work. MomsRising argues that this incredibly large pay gap, the highest in the nation, hurts women, families and our national economy and MomsRising marks the day to highlight the urgent need for action to close the wage gap for Latina women.
