Recognizing that the United States needs to support and strengthen mothers in the workforce by investing in the Mom Economy.

This House resolution states the sense of the House of Representatives on support for working mothers, which it calls the "Mom Economy." It says the United States should invest in paid family and medical leave for all workers, including equal paid parental leave for all parents and paid menstrual leave. It also calls for funding toward universal childcare, higher Head Start funding, and a living wage for childcare workers. Other goals it lists include larger SNAP benefits with fewer work requirements, a permanent expanded child tax credit, maternal health care investments, and a higher Federal minimum wage adjusted each year for inflation. The resolution expresses views only and does not create new laws or spending.
