Statement “As an organization that represents more than a million women and mothers who regularly experience the negative effects of wage discrimination, we at MomsRising applaud the President for taking action to fight wage discrimination for employees of federal contractors.
“Transparency is crucial in efforts to address this discrimination. As Lilly Ledbetter’s case proved, being able to ask about and disclose information about wages can help employees take steps to right wrongs. They must be able to do that without fear of retaliation.

Statement “Every single one of us breathes air and in too many communities - especially in urban areas - that air is the source of dangerous and sometimes deadly pollutants that can trigger asthma attacks or cause lung disease. Cars, light trucks and SUVs are the source of many of those pollutants, meaning we can solve this problem. The Environmental Protection Agency's new standards are an important part of that solution.

Statement “There is no real need to add trans fats to the foods we and our families eat and every reason not to. The Food and Drug Administration’s preliminary determination that partially hydrogenated oils, which are the primary source of trans fats in processed food are not safe is most welcome.

Statement “After decades of inaction, Congress is poised to consider the Chemical Safety Improvement Act (CSIA), which would overhaul our system for regulating toxic substances. This is welcome news, but we want to be sure any new toxics legislation prioritizes the safety of families and communities, shielding them from the kinds of toxic hazards that are becoming ever more pervasive.
