Lin Yu-Ting and Imane Khelif’s inclusion at the Olympics spurred anti-trans rhetoric all over the internet. From TERFs to the well-meaning but misinformed—it seemed like everyone had a lot to stay. We're here to say: questioning any woman’s gender—whether she is cisgender, intersex, or trans—places all women at increased risks of violence and oppression.

It's a stark reality that all moms, regardless of their working hours, earn less than their male counterparts. Full-time, year-round working moms earn only 71 cents for every dollar paid to full-time, year-round working fathers. And when we consider all working moms regardless of how many hours or weeks worked, that wage gap widens even further, dropping to 63 cents for every dollar working fathers are paid. The racist and sexist pay gap is stealing thousands of dollars a year from working moms. Full-time working moms typically lose $1,667 every month or $20,000 a year to the pay gap. This money could help them and their families have a more secure future. It's overdue to pay moms what they deserve and stop taking away their financial security.

Today we signed onto a letter urging the Department of Education to combat digital sexual harassment. Schools need support addressing issues like nonconsensual spread of intimate photos—including those that are AI generated—and we call on the Department of Education to issue that guidance.

“Indigenous students experience sexual assault at a higher rate than any other racial demographic.” Emily Martin, our Chief Program Officer, testified in Congress this week in support of student survivors and steps schools should take to prevent sexual harassment and better support survivors at Haskell Indian Nations University and beyond. Survivors of sexual assault and harassment on campus, including Indigenous student survivors, deserve to be listened to and supported. Period.

We’re excited to announce the recipients of our inaugural Community Impact Fund (CIF)! This community-led grantmaking initiative aims to support nonprofits focused on community building, advocacy, and education at the intersection of child care and economic justice in New Mexico and South Carolina. Our first-ever CIF grants have been awarded to: Partnership for Community Action in New Mexico and The BEE Collective in South Carolina! These amazing organizations are driving change by advocating for better compensation for early childhood educators and enhancing family health equity. A huge thank you to our Design and Advisory Committee members from OLÉ, Semilla Project, Metanoia, YWCA of Greater Charleston, and our community storytellers Patty Ortiz and Chantelle Mitchell who shaped the grant goals over the course of the last year. https://lnkd.in/en7caKat

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPay Day, highlighting the annual pay disparity between Black women and white, non-Hispanic men. Black women working full time, year-round, lose $1,843 each month or $22,120 each year, costing them nearly $900,000 over a 40-year career. In fact, despite educational achievements, Black women still face wage gaps at every level. Black women working full-time, year-round, have to earn a Master’s degree ($72,450) to make more than white, non-Hispanic men with only an Associate’s degree ($67,190). This wage gap prevents Black women from investing in education, buying a home, or saving for retirement, ultimately building generational wealth. The message is clear—pay Black women. #PayMeWhatYouOweMe.

On July 9 at 10 am ET, our President and CEO Fatima Goss Graves will testify before the Senate Finance Committee on the child care crisis in the U.S. and the need for federal investment to better support women, early educators, and businesses. Since federal child care stabilization funding expired last September, it has become even harder for child care programs to serve families and maintain livable wages for staff. We're grateful to Chair Wyden for convening this hearing tomorrow at such a critical time for families and businesses. Join us and watch the hearing here: https://lnkd.in/efTaFsmx
