The wage gap compounds over time, costing the average mom hundreds of thousands—and often over $1 million—over a 40-year career. Imagine what that money could do for a family's home, education, or emergency fund. Stop the motherhood penalty! 📉 #MomsEqualPayDay

In Washington, I-001 removes common sense protections for child abuse victims. I-638 could put girls at greater risk of harm by requiring invasive genital exams to play sports.

.@MomsRising member, Colleen, shares that no mom should have to choose between a paycheck and being there for their kids. Today for #MomsEqualPayDay, demand Congress support the FAMILY Act. Let's secure paid family/medical leave for all! https://t.co/yEWD3qct3b

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

Our Taylor Austin discussed the racist, sexist #wagegap in @blackenterprise for #BlackWomensEqualPayDay. Shameful that the gap widened for the 2nd year in a row. It's now 65 cents for Black women, and just 52 cents for Black moms. We need workplaces that pay us all what our work is worth, and a fair tax code!

@EqualPay2dayOrg's new report reveals how much workplace discrimination costs moms. With the affordability crisis hurting families nationwide, let's take action for #MomsEqualPayDay to support hardworking moms struggling to make ends meet. Read on: https://t.co/Q3lEeEIkh4

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

With the cost of groceries, housing, and everyday essentials continuing to rise, families can't afford for moms to be shortchanged. When moms aren't paid fairly, whole households feel the squeeze. Equal pay isn't a luxury—it's household survival. 🛒🏠 #MomsEqualPayDay #CloseTheGap

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

The mom wage gap doesn't end when you leave the workforce—it follows mothers straight into retirement. Lower lifetime earnings mean smaller 401(k) contributions and reduced Social Security benefits. Equal pay is about lifelong economic dignity! 💰 #MomsEqualPayDay #CloseTheGap

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

Hear it straight from the moms! Way too many of us can't be there for our kids when they need us most, because we don't have access to paid family/medical leave. Tell Congress that you're with us and support the FAMILY Act today for #MomsEqualPayDay https://t.co/yEWD3qct3b

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

A mom's economic security shouldn't depend on her zip code. State-level paid leave programs prove that supporting families keeps women in the workforce and boosts local economies.
It's time for a national standard. Sign the petition: https://t.co/A5fbL0Krxt

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

Moms earn far less than dads—and the lack of paid leave is a major reason why. We know paid leave works in the states; now we need a national policy.
Tell Congress to support working mothers and pass the FAMILY Act! ✊

📅 Today marks #MomsEqualPayDay — the day we use to shed light on the persistent wage gap experienced by mothers in the workplace. The motherhood penalty affects hiring, promotion, and lifetime earnings. And it's even more severe for Black, Latina, and Indigenous moms.

Congratulations to @abdulelsayed, the Democratic Nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan. Thank you for making universal child care and affordability central to your campaign. On to November! #ChildCareSeal

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

"When our lawmakers and titans of tech tell us to blame ourselves and each other, and that our struggles—with the cost of food, health care, child care—are not theirs to resolve, it begs a simple question: are they right, or are they the problem?"

MomsRising member Nathalie shares the balance of responsibilities and systemic problems mothers often have to juggle, from the high cost of expenses to difficult decisions on entering or leaving the workforce, all without robust care policies to help care for our families. Read her powerful reflections on the difficult balance mothers constantly juggle! https://t.co/pb1GjZaJML

Thank you @SenSchumer for your leadership on Head Start and protecting children & families!

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Trump is planning to gut Head Start—a devastating blow to our most vulnerable families.

That means no math or literacy requirements, no health & safety screenings, no guarantee children can access medical services.

He doesn't give a damn. He thinks the government exists to serve only him.

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

This year's National Breastfeeding Month theme is RISE: Resilience, Interdependence, Self-Determination, and Empowerment. It's a reminder that no family should have to navigate their feeding journey alone.

Breastfeeding doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's shaped by the support families receive, the health care they can access, and the policies that either open doors or create barriers.

At MomsRising, we know breastfeeding is about so much more than nutrition. It's about equity, dignity, and making sure every family has the chance to meet their own infant feeding goals with the support they deserve.

Join us in celebrating the strength of families, the power of community, and the policies that make breastfeeding possible.

How have Medicaid cuts impacted you and your family? Share your story with us! https://t.co/1uof0DpYFa #HealthCareHeist

[MomsRising @MomsRising]

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 — with millions more at risk! https://t.co/1uof0DpYFa #HealthCareHeist

Moms are back on Capitol Hill! We brought the voices of our 3.7 million members, in every state in the country, to Congress to address our country's care and affordability crises. By sharing your stories and working with our champions in Washington, DC, we will bring about the change that families need: affordable child care and health care, paid family & medical leave, aging & disability care, fair pay for care workers, and more. @RepJillTokuda
