Caption : In the year since I first posted this, not much has changed. None of the states that banned or restricted abortion have #PaidLeave. They took away your fundamental right to decide if and when you’ll have children and did nothing to protect your job, paycheck, or health insurance while you’re pregnant or caring for a newborn. But there was some good news. Minnesota enshrined the right to reproductive freedom into law — and they passed #PaidLeave! When we stand up and fight back, we can protect our fundamental human rights and support our families.

Caption : When you don’t have the right to privacy, you don’t have the right to reproductive health care. You don’t have civil liberties or bodily autonomy. And you have no right to privacy in any sphere of your life — not even when you message your mother for help.

Caption : Despite graduating near the top of her law school class, Sandra Day O’Connor was only offered a job as a secretary when she applied for a job at a major law firm. But she refused to back down. She pursued her legal career until she shattered that highest glass ceiling by becoming the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court. She paved the way for women like myself to pursue our own legal careers — and brought women’s voices and perspectives to the highest court in our nation. And while I may not agree with every decision she ever made, I respected her dedication, her attention to the practical effects of the Court’s work, and above all, her respect for precedent, particularly her vote in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones today.

Caption : I don’t know about you, but I’m so sick of running as fast as I can, wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has cleared every single hurdle to become the 28th Amendment to our constitution, and @coribush and I are on #TheERATour pushing for it to become law now. Are you ready for it?  The ERA would constitutionally prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex and prohibit states from continuing to strip away our rights. From equal pay to reproductive health care to protecting LGBTQ+ rights, the ERA takes all my friends to the summit. It’s been a long time coming, but I know this is a fight that someday we’re gonna win. The ERA was passed by both houses of Congress and ratified by the necessary number of states. We stand on the shoulders of generations of fearless women. Now all we need is for the archivist of the United States to certify and publish the ERA as the 28th Amendment to our Constitution.  You say that the past is the past, but I can’t not think of all the cost and the things that will be lost if we don’t speak now. But if we persist and resist, constitutional equality is just a matter of time, up there’s the finish line. The ERA has a Blank Space, all we need is for the archivist to write her name! #TheERAsTour

Caption : Extreme right-wing state officials want to treat women like second-class citizens. All women deserve the right to travel freely across state lines and to make life and death decisions about their own bodies. This is unconscionable, and we must fight back.

Caption : Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all agree: Public officials shouldn’t profit from their positions. So @joshhawleymo and I are introducing a bill to ban members of Congress, senior executive branch officials, and their spouses and dependents from holding or trading individual stocks — the most substantial bipartisan effort yet to #BanStockTrading.

Caption : I’m incredibly relieved to hear that Abigail Mor Edan has been released. She was the youngest American being held hostage by Hamas — she just turned four on Friday. When I first met with her family a month ago, they told me the gut-wrenching story of how Abigail’s parents were murdered before she was taken hostage. I know how worried they were for her safety, and I can’t even imagine how relieved they must be to have her home. We must keep working until every innocent child being held hostage by Hamas is returned home to their families.

Caption : I’ve just heard the incredible news that Danielle Aloni and her five-year-old daughter, Amelia, have been released by Hamas. I’ve been working closely with Danielle’s cousin Alana, who lives in New York, who told me the harrowing story of how Danielle and Amelia were taken hostage while visiting with Danielle’s sister, Sharon, her brother-in-law David, and their three-year-old twins, Emma and Julie. Sharon, David, Emma, and Julie are still being held hostage. My heart is with Danielle, Amelia, Alana, and their entire family as they begin to heal from this ordeal. I’m praying for the safe return of Sharon, David, Emma, and Julie. And I’m thinking of all the families still waiting for their loved ones to be released. I won’t stop working until we bring all the hostages home.

Caption : If federal funding for child care expires at the end of the month, over 70,000 daycares could close, leaving millions of children without care and forcing parents — mostly moms — to make an impossible choice between going to work or staying with their kids. I’ve introduced a bill to avert this catastrophe and ensure families and child care providers have the support they need.

Caption : I’ve met with some of the families whose loved ones are being held hostage by Hamas terrorists, and I want to tell you their stories. Abigail Mor Edan is just three years old. Her mother was murdered in their home while her two siblings hid in a closet. Her father was shot and killed while he was holding onto Abigail — and she was kidnapped. Keith Siegel was born in California and grew up in North Carolina. He met and married his wife Aviva, and they are now the loving grandparents of five grandchildren. They were last seen being kidnapped from kibbutz Kfar Aza. I promised their families that Abigail, Keith, Aviva, and all the other hostages will not be forgotten. And we will go to the ends of the earth to #BringThemHome.
