The SAVE Act Is Back—and Women’s Political Power Is on the Line As Congress revives the SAVE Act, new proof-of-citizenship rules could reshape voter registration in ways that burden women voters.

It's no mistake this administration wants to restrict the votes of women.

The Education Department's efforts to fire staff cost over $28 million, watchdog says A new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office calculates the cost of efforts to fire civil rights staff and questions the department's ability to enforce federal civil rights laws.

Instead of simply defending the civil rights of students, the administration wasted millions of dollars. This department investigates complaints of discrimination in schools based on students' sex, race, national origin, disability and more. https://n.pr/4qTKMwJ

Caregivers for the elderly could lose wage protections under Trump proposal The Labor Department has proposed rescinding an Obama-era rule that gave home care workers the right to overtime pay and other wage protections. The administration says the rule made care too costly.

The majority of home care workers are women and people of color, and they would lose overtime pay. The solution to making care affordable isn't underpaying hardworking people- it's robust investment by the government.

Black women's unemployment has skyrocketed. Here’s what happened. The rate is now equivalent to White women’s during the bleakest moments of the Great Recession.

Social Services Cuts Will Mean More Women Stop Working—and Maybe That’s the Point Freezing childcare and social-services funding exposes how Trump-Vance's “pro-family” agenda relies on pushing women out of the workforce.

Women make up 82 percent of those who miss work for childcare reasons, and Black and multiracial parents have had to quit a job or turn down a job at twice the rate of white parents.

Trump calls affordability crisis a 'hoax.' The data tells a different story As Democrats campaigning on affordability pick up wins, Trump's messaging about a strong economy is at odds with widespread voter sentiment that he's not doing enough to tackle rising costs.

We don't need politicians or data to tell us how difficult it is to make ends meet. It's up to us to hold the government accountable for its policies that fail working people.

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.
