These are the consequences of a government that stokes fear, discrimination, and sanctions violence. Our thoughts are with the family of the woman murdered by ICE agents today, and all those who have lost their lives because of this cruel and careless administration.

Four Ways the Trump Administration Took a Page From the Project 2025 Playbook and Made It Harder for Women to Care for Their Families in 2025
Ultimately, these four attacks reveal the Trump administration’s hypocrisy. It claims to be supporting women having and raising children, but these policy decisions have all made it harder for women with families to survive.

Caught Red-Cup-Handed: Why Starbucks (And All Employers) Must Provide Fair Schedules
Luckily for all of us, there are ways to improve scheduling conditions for workers. Predictable scheduling laws (or “fair workweek” laws) are designed to help workers with unstable schedules get more stability, predictability, and control over their work hours. And part-time parity laws ensure that workers can get access to the same workplace benefits whether they work part- or full-time hours.
