On the radio show this week, we discuss how the wage gap that moms experience impacts our families and our economy, with May marking not just Mother's Day, but also Moms Equal Pay Day. We talk about how the Trump administration is using our tax dollars for human rights abuses against immigrant families, and how you can speak up to your members of Congress and support mixed-status families in your community. We also dive into the rural mental health crisis, especially for rural moms experiencing isolation and barriers to treatment, and why the proposed cuts to Medicaid would make this even worse. We close the show with an inside discussion about what's happening in Washington, DC right now with the Republican proposed budget, and why you need to call your U.S. Representative right away and tell them to protect Medicaid, SNAP, child care and more.    SPECIAL GUESTS: Taylor Austin, MomsRising, @MomsRising, @momsrising.org; Wendy Cervantes, Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), @CLASP_DC, @clasp.org; Chuck Strand, Rural Minds, @ruralminds; Elyssa Schmier, MomsRising, @MomsRising, @momsrising.org

Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature | Bioneers Radio Series

Ever since women won the right to vote in 1920, women leaders and their allies have sought to pass an Equal Rights Amendment to drive total equality and justice for women into the U.S. Constitution. It did pass in 1972, but fell three states short of ratification. Today's next wave of the women's movement might finally make the ERA a reality. Why is Constitutional protection so crucial? Join leading advocates Joan Blades (MomsRising co-founder), attorney Kimberle Crenshaw and Jessica Neuwirth (ERA Coalition President) to learn the true story of what's at stake and how life would be different and better for women and men. To learn more about Kimberle Crenshaw's work, visit the African American Policy Forum.  You can follow Joan Blades work at MomsRising, and Living Room Conversations. Follow the progress Jessica Neuwirth and others are making with the ERA Coalition. See related media in our Green New Deal Media Collection.

Moms' Equal Pay Day is not a day to celebrate, it's a day to activate!  It's the day in 2024 that moms have to work until in order to earn what white dads earned in 2023 – which means moms have to work more than 18 months to earn what dads earned in 12 months.  Not okay!  So Moms Equal Pay Day is the day we use to shed light on the persistent wage gap experienced by mothers in the workplace. On average moms earn just 63 cents for every dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic dads. Of course, the averages alone don't tell the whole story because, due to structural racism, moms of color face much larger wage gaps when compared separately. Not okay! It doesn't have to be this way.  Solutions are possible!!  And we talk about solutions and more on this radio program!!   *Special guests include: Beverly Neufeld, PowHer New York, @PowHerNY; Felicia Burnett, MomsRising, @MomsRising; Martha Susana Jaimes, Institute for Women's Policy Research, @iwpresearch; Taylor Austin, MomsRising, @MomsRising
