Let’s do the math 🧑‍🏫
Moms:
-are paid 63 cents for every dollar paid to dads
-lose income over time due to caregiving
-lose time in the workforce because they’re often forced to choose between their families and their paycheck.

Proud to coauthor this with Sandra Henriquez @Valor_US_. Victim services funding is essential in the #CABudget. @CAgovernor
@GavinNewsom, survivors need you to include this money in the final budget.

A survivor advocate shares her experience and calls for @CAgovernor

[Laura Flanders & Friends @LFAndFriends]

Housing is one of the greatest barriers for women attempting to leave their abusers, and for those who do manage to escape, it’s a confusing process to get help. @cpedvcoalition's @Krista_Colon_ explains the link between domestic violence and homelessness: https://t.co/1El9ghQCkJ

[Senator Eloise Gómez Reyes @SenEloiseReyes]

Our efforts are paying off!

Earlier this year, I was proud to lead a bipartisan request with over 45 Assemblymember’s requesting that funding for the Victims of Crime Act be a priority in this year’s budget. (1/3)

[Krista Colon @Krista_Colon_]

It's not too late to join us today! See you there!

California Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer Proposes $50 Million in State Budget for Domestic Violence Prevention https://t.co/Eb9rnbhmnU via @Ethnic Media Services

More than four in five respondents said that their abusive partners disrupted their ability to work. Among those who experienced one or more disruptions, 53 percent actually lost a job because of the abuse https://t.co/FhXSO9Wql4 via @msmagazine

[Rob Bonta @AGRobBonta]

This decision is dangerous & misguided.

Firearms are used in more than half of intimate partner homicides in America.

Restraining orders, including Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, still prohibit firearm possession in CA.

First day back after 6 months of maternity leave. Time to dive right in with #CALeg and #domesticviolence policy!

[Krista Colon @Krista_Colon_]

Putting our 6 month old into daycare at the start of January and bracing for the ever rotating colds, flus, and other viruses headed our way.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Since we as a nation have no guaranteed paid sick leave, people go to work and school sick, which is, of course, what leads to everyone getting RSV and HFM and H1N1 and many other series of numbers and letters yet to be identified. @lydiakiesling writes https://t.co/Y94WjZnzAK

[Krista Colon @Krista_Colon_]

I've been so privileged to have an extended parental leave- the type of leave everyone should have access to. I'm looking forward to getting back to work in January fighting for #paidleaveforall

[Molly Weston Williamson @Molly_MWW]

Leah Jones of @SisterSong_WOC on #PaidLeaveForAll being "too expensive" when Black women are 3.5x more likely to die after giving birth: "I believe the lives of a birthing people and children are priceless. So, I ask: too expensive for who exactly?" https://t.co/gmjx0Rv7Cx

This entire thread is great info about the importance of the Georgia run off, and "chaos muppets" might be my new favorite phrase.
