Today, the #PregnantWorkersFairnessAct goes into effect, offering reasonable accommodations to pregnant workers, like being able to carry a water bottle or take leave for medical appointments. Grateful for this commitment to healthy babies.

I’ve talked to a few parents here today who have LGBTQ+ children or are LGBTQ+ themselves, who say it’s important for children and families to see themselves represented in school curriculums. “You can’t opt out of life,” one mom told me

The scientific community widely agrees: LGBTQIA+ people exist & othering them causes bullying, depression, suicide.
@MCPS must teach a science-backed curriculum. Where that differs from one’s religious beliefs — whether evolution or LGBTQIA acceptance — can be discussed at home.
ALT Kristin stands with Laura Stewart (MCC-PTA) and Jill Ortman-Fouse (former Board of Ed member) amongst a crowd holding rainbow signs and flags. Laura’s sign says “ALL FAMILIES, ALL KIDS.” Kristin’s sign says “You can’t opt out of LGBTQIA+ existence.”

Today I'm reintroducing my Child Care for Working Families Act with @BobbyScott to finally fix our nation's child care crisis.
This crisis is holding kids, working parents, small business, and our entire economy back—it's past time we tackle it head on.
