Cornell is what happens when people like Trump make the rules. His new Title IX regulations make it harder for student survivors to get justice—and easier for perpetrators and institutions to escape accountability.

Grandmothers, nanas, aunties, abuelitas, family friends, and neighbors who nurture children: these are FFN caregivers. They care for millions of children across the country—but many struggle to make ends meet. This #FFNAppreciationWeek, we're calling for the support they deserve.

Child care in our country is broken—1 in 3 families spend more on child care than rent, care workers earn poverty-level wages while having their health care & SNAP benefits cut, all while corporations are raising prices on everything from gas to groceries. The system is unaffordable & unsustainable.
day without child care: we demand a universal child care system for every child and family, with thriving wages for early childhood educators, built on racial and gender equity

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.
Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination. Discrimination based on sex is expressly prohibited under Montana’s unique Nondiscrimination Clause––“[n]either the state nor any person, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate on account of . . . sex . . . .” Thus, Article II, Section 4 is
unequivocal in its intolerance for discrimination based on sex. Because sex discrimination involves a fundamental right under Article II, the appropriate level of judicial review is strict scrutiny. Snetsinger, ¶ 17.

¶28 Being transgender is also a suspect class under the Equal Protection Clause of
Article II, Section 4,––“[n]o person shall be denied equal protection of the law.”
