Did you know...
Legislated gender quotas have a significant positive impact on women’s representation in local government, particularly in developing regions, and can disrupt the cycle of male-dominated political leadership.

Every time I post about a U.S. business that treats it workers well (free health care, several weeks paid vacation, paid parental leave, etc), people from literally every other advanced country reply "wait that's the bare minimum required by law here."
Out standards are so low.

Weeks of paid family leave by country:
UK: 39
Ireland: 26
Finland: 23.5
Australia: 18
Denmark: 18
France: 16
Switzerland: 14
USA: Zero
This is an absolute travesty.

Democrats have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in American families, create universal child care, fight back against the climate crisis, and make billionaires and giant corporations pay a fair share. We can’t miss it.
"I didn't realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn." Reads more like a line from Mad Men than a statement from the Governor of New York justifiying his behavior and actions in 2021.

Wow. Just... wow. @RepKatiePorter is so unbelievably good at this.
A recent study found that female students perform better in science when images in their textbooks include female scientists. So, to stop teaching girls that brilliance does not belong to them, we just need to stop misrepresenting women. Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez

There's no discount for raising kids as a single parent, trust me. Yet, it's harder for kids from single parent homes to get help through the Child Tax Credit. I broke down this #SingleParentPenalty in March, and last week, I introduced a bill to strike it from the tax code.
Just imagine how much better off humanity would be if men and women equally shared unpaid labor. #Equality

In Mitch McConnell’s world, if you are a multi-billionaire campaign contributor it's okay to receive a $1.4 billion tax break. That’s how the system works. But if you are a carpenter who makes $75,000 a year, a direct payment is “socialism for the rich.” Give me a break.
