A hunger cliff is days away. Women, children and food banks will feel it first. Food banks will face logistical and financial challenges in providing the resources currently offered by the SNAP and WIC programs that are set to lose funding.

Oppressed people- women, POC, disabled people, and LGBTQ people- face hurdles like unequal pay and discrimination that makes it harder to afford necessities. The choice to pause food assistance is cruelty.

Supreme Court seems poised to further undercut the Voting Rights Act The court's conservative majority could invalidate the section of the Voting Rights Act aimed at ensuring minority voters are not shut out of the process of drawing new congressional district lines.

Since the founding of this country, some have tried to prevent us from voting and engaging in civil society because they know that when we do, we win. Our communities thrive when all voices are heard and represented at all levels of government.

Trump wants to stop states from voting by mail and using voting machines Trump wants to stop states from voting by mail and using voting machines. But legal experts say he lacks the constitutional authority to do so.

Our voting system is safe. Mail-in voting is safe. People who want to make voting more difficult know they will lose when it's easy and accessible.

Moms and teachers are mad about school supplies again This year, though, it's political as tariffs drive prices up and the Trump administration makes historic cuts to public education funding.

Suspending monthly economic reports would be really bad for women of color Trump's pick to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggested a pause of the monthly employment reports, the only timely economic measure of how women of color are faring in the economy.

“Since their policies tend to disproportionately have a negative impact on people with less power and privilege, we will know and understand less about this impact if less data is made available.”

The new American workplace crisis: Return-to-office mandates lead to a working mom exodus Mothers working remotely often face the “motherhood penalty”—less pay, fewer raises, and limited promotion prospects.

Power prices are expected to soar under new tax cut and spending law In states without policies to drive renewable energy, power prices could surge as federal tax incentives for clean energy disappear, according to Energy Innovation, a think tank.

People of color are already paying more for energy bills. Policies like these will overburden the people already stretching their paychecks to the fullest.

July 10th marks #BlackWomensEqualPayDay, a reminder that this country still runs on a system built on theft, and we’re the ones being robbed. Paid only 66 cents for every dollar a white man earns, Black women’s labor continues to be exploited, undervalued and dismissed. bit.ly/4kxMX5k
