While young women feel the “American Dream” slipping out of reach, Trump is calling affordability a “con job.” Women deserve an economy they can thrive in, and we’ll keep fighting to build one. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/13/g...

Ask any woman what she’s paying for groceries, rent, or childcare. She’ll tell you what affordability is.

The threats toward survivors and their families are disgusting. They’re attempting to silence women. We won’t be quiet and we’ll keep fighting to make sure survivors never have to be.

DWC member @debbiedingell.house.gov is holding United Airlines accountable for allowing a perpetrator to walk free. She is making sure flight crews and airlines prioritize the safety of women and that sexual harassment is always taken seriously.

Jane Doe and Kendall Francis are not alone. 1 in 4 women experience sexual violence while in college. And Trump’s Dept of Ed. is doing nothing to address it. They have gutted the very Office tasked with enforcing Title IX and formally reinstated regulations that weaken protections for survivors.

Women in detention are being sexually assaulted and ICE is doing nothing about it. Sexual violence thrives where accountability is missing. We need to protect women and hold Trump and Republicans responsible for this rampant abuse. www.sacurrent.com/news/politic...

Accountability should not depend on a political moment. We need to change the rules, the laws and the culture to ensure women feel safe when reporting and that the system works for survivors. From Capitol Hill to college campuses, our reforms make it clear: sexual misconduct has consequences.

Republicans claim to be the party of family values then gut Head Start, childcare, SNAP, and access to reproductive healthcare. @repgwenmoore.bsky.social said it best, you can’t claim to care about moms while voting to strip away their rights and lifelines.

The Hyde Amendment blocks federal funds from being used for abortion care. This means women on Medicaid have to pay for abortion care out-of-pocket, making access to abortion dependent on economic status. The Hyde Amendment is discriminatory, and it’s past time we repeal it.

What happened to the young woman at Cornell is horrifying. DWC & women across the country stand with her. It's past time we teach boys what consent means & change this pervasive culture around sexual violence. We've fought for years so women can live free from fear, & we won't stop until we win.

Survivors should always feel believed and protected when they come forward. We are fighting alongside advocates like @katiephang.bsky.social and @reckoningaction.bsky.social to build a system where abusers are held accountable and survivors are put first.

@murray.senate.gov asked Overton three times to confirm that an IUD isn't an abortifacient, and she couldn't even do that. This is beyond disturbing.

Funding the Department of Homeland Security with over $200 billion doesn't help families pay their bills. Republicans may say they care about women and families—but their votes say otherwise.

More than 7.5 million women have safely used mifepristone since 2000—not just for abortion care, but also to treat conditions like fibroids and endometriosis. We must protect mife.

Pregnant women in ICE detention are being shackled and held under inhumane conditions. ICE has now “lost count” of how many women in its custody have lost their pregnancies. This admin is putting women in harm’s way and refuses to take accountability. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

Trump has cut funding for women's health research and banned words like "women" and "females" from NIH grants. Now he wants hand-picked loyalists to approve every grant or veto the funding if they go against Trump’s agenda. Our nation’s health research shouldn’t be up to political loyalty tests.

Republicans have now cancelled 62 of 261 voting days. This time they're dodging a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth, who has continually insulted and put our servicewomen at risk. Instead of lowering costs, making healthcare more affordable, and holding people accountable—they're going on vacation.
