Mother's Day 2023
Happy Mother's Day!
What would our Legislature be doing if it truly valued the work of mothers (and all parents)?
They would be strengthening our child care infrastructure with the Common Start bills so that all parents can access affordable child care.
They would be requiring health
insurance plans to cover all pregnancy care without any kind of cost-sharing.
They would be addressing the stark racial disparities in maternal health outcomes in our Commonwealth.
They would be pausing the expansion of prison and jail construction because a new women's prison would only continue cycles of family separation and trauma.
