Denizer's heartbreaking story is one of countless that the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act would help prevent and yet, despite having the votes to pass, the Senate still hasn't brought it to a vote.
Denizer, a pregnant cashier, was told to "go home" when all she needed was a small change to stay healthy at work. Denizer was there for us during the pandemic. We need to be there for her. @SenSchumer the votes are there—bring PWFA to a vote this month! #ProtectPregnantWorkers

It has taken 233 years for the U.S. Congress to be fully represented by this country’s indigenous peoples. Tonight, a Native American, a Native Alaskan & a Native Hawaiian are sitting members of the people’s House. Welcome U.S. Representative Peltola to the 117th Congress! 🤙🏽
“Reducing child poverty and promoting economic security and mobility not only improves well-being for children and their families, but also has long-term net benefits for society, such as higher taxes paid, lower health care costs, and less crime.”
Today we got new 2021 data on poverty, income, and health insurance in the US. Lots to dig into but for me, the main point: POLICY MATTERS. Investments in families WORK. Poverty is a political condition not a personal failing. #PovertyDay
The state DOE has spent $15.4 million in pandemic federal funds to help address learning loss after two years of pandemic turmoil. Another $56.5 million is allocated to summer school and learning loss but has yet to be spent: buff.ly/3MTPd6p #HiBiz #Education
#Hawaii’s investment in children has decreased over the past 15 years. The percent of the state’s budget spent on children dropped to 21% this year, down from 25% in 2005. This underinvestment leads to poor health, economic wellbeing & educational levels. civilbeat.org/2022/03/legisl…
