As the first woman in a presidential cabinet, Frances Perkins fought for Social Security, minimum wage, and a ban on child labor. It’s time to honor her far-reaching contributions with a national park site! #ParkForPerkins #FrancesPerkins #NewDeal #NationalParkNews

Frances Perkins’ leadership radically improved the lives of everyday workers – her story deserves a permanent home in the @NatlParkService. Join NPCA in calling on @POTUS to designate the Frances Perkins Homestead a national monument! support.npca.org/page/71034/pet…

It was an enormous honor to watch @GabbyGiffords receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom today. Congratulations, Gabby, you continue to inspire us all.

Retweet if you believe we need a nationwide ban on assault weapons.

Did you know only 1/400 of 1% of @StoryCorps stories make it onto @npr @MorningEdition ? This one is worth a listen

A few days late reading this, but @reshmasaujani thank you for summing this up exactly. elle.com/culture/career…

Take a guess about the number of these states that ensure access to #PaidLeave to new parents or to people who give birth? Yup. Zero. Don't believe them when they say they're trying to protect children and life. This is about power, control and subjugation.

Candidates, if you’re tweeting/texting “abortion is health care” today, you’re doing it wrong. Call your consultants. Call your contacts at the committees. Call me! The opposite of control isn’t health care. It’s freedom. Get your shit together, please.

I am a 71 year old woman. I can no longer bear children. I am apoplectic about what this leaked SCOTUS decision will do to a generation of women in this country. There has not been one word about the responsibility of the impregnator.

This is bullshit.

While it is great that companies are offering paid leave, but it still leaves millions of workers without. fortune.com/2021/10/28/pai…

Talk to you soon!

I will be on @SIRIUSXM POTUS with @SteveScully talking about @StoryCorps and our signature initiative One Small Step at 1:20, tune in if you happen to be in the car!

As a former Congressional aide, I know how easy it is for staff to be overlooked. We can't forget how traumatic January 6th was for staff & we must ensure they get the mental health support they need to heal from such a painful & harrowing experience. bostonglobe.com/2022/01/04/nat…

Tomorrow is going to be a tough one for those of us who were there or had loved ones in the building. Thinking of all of you and finding strength knowing I’m not alone in this. Thank God for the USCP, DC MPD, and every person who fought to keep us safe that day #January6th

I met JoAnna on a rainy day on Capitol Hill. She doesn’t work in politics but politics is certainly doing a number on her and her family. JoAnna deserves paid leave @Sen_JoeManchin @PaidLeaveUS cnn.com/2021/12/22/opi…

@TheRealJenBlue @Alreidy @mollyday @GabbyGiffords @brianwez You’re the RealDeal and I can’t wait to see what amazing work you do next !

I’ve had an extraordinary time consulting - working with brilliant ppl like @Alreidy, @mollyday, @GioLockhart, @GabbyGiffords, @brianwez & so many others on issues like sensible gun laws & paid family & medical leave - I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with them. 4/x

News of the work/self kind: in the new year, I’ll join @Schusterman_Org as Sr Director of Policy & Advocacy. I’ve long admired Schusterman & the team for their commitment to things most important to me & critical to our country: racial, gender, repro & edu equity, Democracy. 1/x

@jeffzeleny No surprise, no women!

Some of America’s newest mayors visited the White House today, where President Biden gave a surprise tour of the Oval Office. NYC Mayor-elect Eric Adams and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu were among those invited (but they dashed off early to catch flights.)

Thank you to Emily from WV for sharing their story to help lift our nation. @Sen_JoeManchin - West Virginians need you to vote YES on #BuildBackBetter with #PaidLeaveForAll #HomeCare #ChildCareForAll because #CareCantWait

“If policymakers are serious about addressing Americans’ concerns about the rising costs of living, they’ll pass the country’s first national paid family and medical leave program as part of the Build Back Better Act with haste.”thehill.com/opinion/white-…
