"Nearly half of parents report overwhelming daily stress. Not a personal failure. A policy failure. Child care rivals rent, there's no paid leave, and defense got $1.5T while family programs face cuts. States are leading. Time to go national." ~ @hillaryclinton.bsky.social via @nytimes.com

🤔 Myth: Education explains the wage gap.
✅ Fact: At every level of education, AANHPI women earn less than white men with the same level of educational attainment. #AANHPIEqualPay

The @USEEOC is considering rescinding EEO-1 data collection. 🛑 This data is vital for spotting workplace discrimination. Don't let them pull a veil over pay inequity. Make some noise! 📢 action.momsrising.org/sign/AANHPI-EqualPayDay-...
#AANHPIEqualPay
For every $1 earned by white, non-Hispanic men, AANHPI women earn about 83¢. Money lost to the wage gap means having less to support our families and use as a cushion for job loss and hard times. Take action today: action.momsrising.org/sign/AANHPI-EqualPayDay-... #AANHPIEqualPay

President Trump is using OUR health care funds, that were intended to cover OUR children and families, paid for by OUR tax dollars, at a rate of $1 billion per day, to fund his wars that Americans do not want. To this, moms say: Time out!
VICTORY! 🎉 West Virginia's HB 4191 is now LAW. More affordable child care for families, stability for providers, and tax credits for small businesses. This is MOMentum in action. Congratulations, West Virginia!
*Earth to President Trump: 3/4 of families need the wages of moms to put food on the table. Parents need child care to be able to go to work, kids need child care to learn and thrive, businesses need child care to avoid workforce and supply chain disruptions.*

Government can do good things to make life better for our families—that's why @warren.senate.gov and I are starting the Child Care for America working group here in Congress.
We're going to deliver affordable, high-quality child care accessible for EVERY working family.
Why do we need EEO-1 data? 🔎 Helps the EEOC focus resources on investigations of likely discrimination. 💡 Prompts employers to self-correct inequities. 📊 Provides the public with aggregate data on workforce diversity. https://action.momsrising.org/sign/EqualPayDay-2026/ #EqualPayDay
The wage gap is a chasm for women of color: as low as 53¢ for every $1 paid to white men. 📉 Demand the EEOC protect pay data transparency so we can fight for true equity for all women! ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿

EEO-1 data collections are NOT new. They have been utilized by both Democratic and Republican administrations since the 1960s to ensure workplace fairness. They are vital, non-partisan tools for accountability. We must protect them. #EqualPayDay https://action.momsrising.org/sign/EqualPayDay-2026/
Moms can't afford a wage gap during a cost-of-living crisis. 🍞🏠 With moms making as little as 64¢ for every $1 paid to dads, we need transparency. We need the EEOC to keep pay data transparent so we can end the mom tax.

🚨ALERT: The #EEOC data collections (like EEO-1) that help identify employment discrimination are under threat. Rescinding them would pull a veil over discrimination just when moms need transparency the most. #EqualPayDay https://action.momsrising.org/sign/EqualPayDay-2026/
