PA PARENTS: Join us for dinner in Scranton tomorrow! ED Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, Rep. Chris Deluzio & special guests discuss what families need to thrive. Caregiving shouldn't be this hard. RSVP here: https://mobilize.us/s/ZbZRya

Head Start helps over a half a million children nationwide. The continued gutting of this program by the Administration only hurts hardworking families. Education is the foundation of economic opportunity & the American Dream, I will always fight to protect Head Start!

Trump needs to keep his hands off Head Start. Democrats have stopped him from dismantling it before. And we’ll do it again.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans BLOCKED affordable child care. Trump wants to get rid of a 7% cap on child care costs for very low-income families, my resolution would have stopped him. Once again, the GOP endorses higher costs for families to satisfy Trump. This isn't the end.

Families and care providers rely on quality, affordable child care to nurture the next generation. Thank you @murray.senate.gov for standing up for our children and families and protecting child care!

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · 6d ago

If Trump did NOTHING, very low-income families would have had their child care costs capped at 7%. But he scrapped that policy and Republicans voted to increase the cost of child care. Money for war, but nothing for child care.

For 61 years, Medicaid has provided critical health care to millions of families. But recent cuts passed by Republicans in Congress have stripped Medicaid coverage from nearly 8 million people! https://action.momsrising.org/survey/HR1-anniversary-storycollection/?source=bsky.mr #HealthCareHeist

The EEOC is proposing to stop collecting EEO-1 demographic pay data. This data is critical to holding large corporations accountable for wage discrimination. Without this data, they can hide unfair pay in the shadows. Stop them: https://action.momsrising.org/sign/BWEPD-2026/ #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

Demand Equal Pay for Black Women!

This is not about catching up. This is about lost wages—money taken out of Black women's pockets that they will never get back. Right now, Black women working full-time make just 65 cents for every dollar a white man makes.

A recent IWPR report shows that in 2025, 113,000+ Black women were pushed out of the workforce. The administration's attacks on DEI & federal workers are actively sidelining Black women. https://action.momsrising.org/sign/BWEPD-2026/ #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

In just 3 days, July 24 marks 17 years since the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25. Keeping the wage floor frozen for nearly two decades is a policy choice that disproportionately keeps Black women underpaid. Seventeen years is enough. Raise the wage! #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

Today is Black Women's Equal Pay Day. Today is a reminder of stolen wages—money stripped from Black women. Black women working full-time make just 65¢ for every dollar a white man makes. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay We must dismantle this structural theft. https://action.momsrising.org/sign/BWEPD-2026/
