Child care is unaffordable for families and early educators are paid too little. That's why today we're joining with partners across the country to boldly declare a new vision: Child Care for All! Join and learn more:
At the current rate, Latinas won’t reach pay equity with white men for 100+ years. We can’t wait over a century for justice. The time for change is now. We need policies that address these inequities—not a federal government determined to roll back opportunities for women of color at every turn.
That gap represents real women—and real consequences. It means fewer resources to pay rent, put food on the table & build stability. At a time where Trump & his allies in Congress are cutting essential programs & prices continue to climb, Latinas cannot afford to be underpaid on top of it all.
Latinas are still paid just 53 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. This number reflects all Latinas with reported earnings—including migrant, seasonal, part-time, and gig workers—because organizing for change must include everyone. And it’s not just a number. 🧵
NEW: 360+ legislators from all 50 states banded together to oppose Trump’s proposed changes that would gut the quality and safety of Head Start, robbing more than 700,000 children of essential services. Read our sign-on letter with @stateinnovation.org @childcareforeveryfamily.org ⤵️
Trump's new Title IX regulations make it harder for student survivors to get justice. So we're planning a public display of solidarity with student survivors of sexual assault—and we need as many people as possible to show their support. Add your name to our public display of solidarity:
We need to protect students. But Trump's Dept. of Ed is making it harder for survivors to get justice—and easier for abusers & institutions to escape accountability. That’s why we're planning a public display of solidarity w/student survivors. Add your name to show support:
Our president @fatimagossgraves.bsky.social was named one of the most powerful women in Washington in @washingtonian.com! We know firsthand that Fatima's dedication to the fight for gender justice is a force to be reckoned with, and it's particularly crucial right now. Congratulations, Fatima!

We fought those rules in 2020, and we won’t stop fighting until survivors are believed, abusers are held accountable, and the institutions that protect them are forced to answer for it. Students deserve to be safe—not silenced and dismissed.
Cornell is what happens when people like Trump make the rules. His new Title IX regulations make it harder for student survivors to get justice—and easier for perpetrators and institutions to escape accountability.
Everyone deserves access to safe abortion care. But today, nearly half of abortions worldwide are unsafe. This #InternationalSafeAbortionDay, we're raising our voices for a world where everyone can access the reproductive health care they need, when they need it.
Instead of helping families afford basic necessities like food or gas, Trump is once again Robbing Us. He is freezing nearly $1 billion approved by Congress for programs that support our communities—like research grants, education funding, and housing programs.

The courage of survivors—and their willingness to speak out—has been integral to the ongoing national reckoning of sexual violence in all facets of our society and the march toward justice.
Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 15 years in prison today after being found guilty last year of a first-degree criminal sex act. We’re thinking of the bravery of the Silence Breakers—the women who came forward & spoke out on the sexual abuse they experienced at his hands for decades.
Amy K. Matsui, vice president for child care and income security at NWLC: “These efforts are less about ensuring that public dollars are spent for their intended purpose and more about cutting basic needs programs altogether.”

Grandmothers, nanas, aunties, abuelitas, family friends, and neighbors who nurture children: these are FFN caregivers. They care for millions of children across the country—but many struggle to make ends meet. This #FFNAppreciationWeek, we're calling for the support they deserve.
Families often choose FFN care because they want caregivers who share their language, culture, & traditions. During #FFNAppreciationWeek, we’re celebrating the ways FFN caregivers foster trust while helping children build a sense of belonging, identity, & community connection.
New NWLC analysis tells us how bad costs have risen: in 2024, lower-income households spent 95% of pre-tax income on basic needs. Housing, transportation, food, health care, and child care aren't luxuries, they're necessities everyone deserves access to. www.thepersistent.com/p/the-poores...
