The Most Aggressive Equal Pay Proposal in History

Kamala Harris
It’s an outrage that women have to work more hours to pay off their student debt. It’s an outrage new mothers are penalized for taking time off to care for their kids. It’s an outrage the wage gap has barely budged this entire century.
Let's change that.

Alabama Lawmakers Vote to Effectively Ban Abortion in the State
Supporters of the measure hope it will lead the Supreme Court to reconsider Roe v. Wade, which recognized a constitutional right to end a pregnancy.

Outrageous news coming out of Alabama. This law would effectively ban abortions in the state and criminalize doctors for doing their jobs - providing health care to women.

Farmers get impatient with Trump's trade war: 'This can't go on'
American farmers are running out of patience with President Donald Trump's trade war with China.

The Trump Administration has told farmers to be patient, but farmers across our nation can’t afford to wait. This Administration has proven time and time again that farmers are not a priority. This trade war is hurting American workers and farmers.

Too many women are kept in jail, not because they’re a threat to their community, but because they cannot afford to make bail. It's time we change the bail system and allow mothers to be home with their families. #FreeBlackMamas

I believe that you can judge a society based on how it treats its children. And one of the greatest expressions of love that a society can make toward its children is to invest in their education and, by extension, their teachers.

John Kelly was the architect of the Trump Administration's cruel child separation policy. Now he will profit off the separation of families. It's unethical. We are better than this.

From Merrimack, NH to Oscoda, MI, communities across the U.S. are suffering from water contamination. I'm troubled to hear reports that the EPA will weaken standards for chemicals polluting water supplies. Everyone needs access to clean drinking water.

Active shooter drills are scaring kids and may not protect them. Some schools are taking a new approach.
From calling them "buddy room drills" to making school psychologists available during the exercises, schools are trying to protect students — physically and mentally.

Heidi's 4-year-old son was at a football game when he heard celebratory fireworks. "Panicked by the popping sounds, the little boy turned to his dad. ‘Active shooter!’ he cried, tears in his eyes.”
This isn’t normal. We must stand up to the NRA.

Tennessee Advances Bill That Could Make It Harder to Register New Voters
A bill passed by the Republican-controlled House would punish groups for submitting incomplete voter registrations. Critics say it would stifle minority votes.

Voter registration drives should be encouraged and promoted, not suppressed. This is a shameful attempt at voter suppression in Tennessee by GOP lawmakers.
