Recognizing that the United States needs to support and strengthen mothers in the workforce by investing in the Mom Economy.
This House resolution expresses the view that the United States should prioritize a "Mom Economy" by investing in social safety net programs to support mothers in the workforce. It calls for specific policy changes, including expanding paid family and medical leave, increasing funding for universal childcare and early learning, and raising the federal minimum wage with annual inflation adjustments. The bill also recommends strengthening nutrition assistance through SNAP and school meals, making the child tax credit permanent, and addressing maternal health and mortality crises. Additionally, it urges the passage of legislation to protect LGBTQ+ workers in the workplace and reduce wage discrimination, while emphasizing the need for policymakers to consider the unique economic challenges faced by working mothers.
