For months, my newborn daughter screamed in pain, barely eating. I knew something was wrong, but doctors dismissed me. In my new essay for @GirlTalkHQ, I share my experience with medical gaslighting – a barrier many moms of color face when seeking care: girltalkhq.com/doctors-gaslit…

As of yesterday, NYC workers have stronger paid sick time rights! Now, the city's law covers paid sick time for childcare, emergency-related closures, housing- and benefits-related legal proceedings, workplace violence, and more. Learn more: abetterbalance.org/local-victory-…

Imagine a future where moms aren't financially punished for having + caring for their children. Countries like Denmark model what's possible with supportive policies like paid leave and childcare – it's past time for the U.S. to catch up. @MsMagazine: msmagazine.com/2026/02/13/chi…

In a new @motherwellmag essay, ABB President @Inimai discusses unconventional tools moms use to make their voices heard in a healthcare system that can be dismissive – and questions why some doctors would rather listen to AI than women's own words: motherwellmag.com/2026/02/11/ai-…

Today, @SenSanders and @rosadelauro reintroduced the Healthy Families Act, which would create a right to paid sick time for workers nationwide. Here's what to know 🧵

When my newborn daughter had life-threatening health problems, doctors dismissed me – until I found an unlikely ally: ChatGPT. But why should moms need a robot middleman just for our healthcare system to take us seriously? My latest for @motherwellmag: motherwellmag.com/2026/02/11/ai-…

Four-day workweeks have been a hot topic lately. Beyond leaving room for leisure time and rest, a shorter workweek can also give parents and caregivers some breathing room – will be interesting to see the ripple effects as more companies try it out: fastcompany.com/91473059/these…

"Climate solutions are also cost-of-living solutions." Interesting that most Americans now recognize the climate crisis as inextricable from our current affordability crisis: thehill.com/policy/energy-…

Each year, thousands of pregnant women are incarcerated. Prison nursery programs can promote early bonding with babies and help support moms as they transition from incarceration back into their communities. Powerful reporting from @amandavhernan: stateline.org/2026/01/09/tea…

This administration's attacks on trans people continue to be petty, nonsensical and inhumane. Thankfully our labor laws beg to differ here.
A Better Balance@ABetterBalance

Despite Trump's DoL rescinding anti-discrimination protections for transgender workers in the agency’s workforce development programs, trans and non-binary workers DO have rights on the job to access support without fear of discrimination. Learn more: abetterbalance.org/resources/guid…

Anyone with any stake in preserving our democracy should be appalled by what happened in Minneapolis yesterday.

Renee Good deserved to come home to her family yesterday. This administration is letting ICE tear apart families, terrorize communities and now murder bystanders with impunity.

Happy New Year! With new paid leave laws taking effect today in Mississippi, Minnesota, Delaware and more, it's clear that 2026 is going to be a big year for building on state-level momentum as we keep fighting for #PaidLeaveForAll.

Too many parents and caregivers are at the whim of unpredictable, unfair work schedules. Grateful to see federal legislation introduced that would ensure predictability and benefits for millions of workers.
A Better Balance@ABetterBalance

Last week, the Schedules That Work Act and Part Time Workers Bill of Rights – two pieces of federal legislation that would give employees more of a say in their work schedules and ensure part-time workers get the pay and benefits they deserve – were reintroduced in Congress.

As I told Vox, for those going through IVF a missed appointment can mean missing a precious chance at a successful pregnancy. Attacks on the PWFA's protections for fertility care are attacks on Americans' ability to grow their families on their own terms: vox.com/policy/472642/…

A huge win for maternal and infant health worth celebrating: the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which passed three years ago this month, has helped lower the national miscarriage rate by helping expectant moms protect their health on the job. abetterbalance.org/new-study-the-…

"Deloitte’s Women @ Work survey suggests that the top two reasons that women are considering leaving their current employer, collectively totaling 43 percent, are the inability to achieve work/life balance and lack of flexibility around when they work." inc.com/angela-gennari…
