While we’ve made progress, women—especially women of color—still don’t have pay parity. If these tariffs stay in place, rising costs will hit women and their families hardest.

We must keep pushing for equity.

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated.

It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing.

I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

Executive overreach threatens democracy and Trumps new executive over is MEGA overreach.

Call Congress.
Keep fighting back.
Hold them accountable.
It’s working.
