The #SCOTUS confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as a working Black mother is a testament to the invisible work of millions of caregivers across the country who balance their work and family responsibilities - & keep breaking glass ceilings in the process. We see you! 👏

22.5 billion - that's how much we lose in wages from the lack of #PaidLeaveforAll. We can't afford for people to start over at the bottom rung. Together, we'll create universal, comprehensive #Paidleave. @SenGillibrand#PaidLeaveRally

We want justice and safety beyond policing -- reimagining our public safety, divesting from our militarized police state, investing in a caring economy. #JointAddress
The American Families Plan that @POTUS is outlining tonight reflects many longstanding priorities of progressives including:
✅ free community college
✅ paid leave
✅ universal pre-k
✅ child care
✅ affordable housing
and so much more.
The #AmericanFamiliesPlan will finally provide 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave. No one should have to choose between a job and a paycheck or caring for themselves or a loved one. @POTUS#PaidLeaveforAll
The time is now to invest in Americas childcare crisis and to invest in an infastrucure that has systemically devalued the work of women and kept us out of the workforce #BuildChildCare#carecantwait
#AmericanFamiliesPlan will guarantee access to affordable high-quality child care. Lower income families won't have to spend more than 7% of their income. #CareCantWait
2 million women have dropped out of the workforce during pandemic, too often because they couldn't get the care they needed for their child or elderly parent. #AmericanJobsPlan will create good jobs to change that. @POTUS
LIVE NOW: Strengthening our nation's child care systems has long been one of my biggest priorities in the Senate. Today, I’m chairing the HELP Committee’s first child care hearing in almost 5 years—this is long overdue. https://t.co/kktI8TU5o6
We love @wendychunhoon & we are excited for what she will do as the ED of @WB_DOL. To honor her leadership with @FmlyValuesWork, we commit to centering women of color & continuing to show up in the fight to win an equitable, accessible care economy that works for all of us!
