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

This Senate resolution states the sense of the Senate 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, paid menstrual leave, and universal childcare and early learning, including more funding for Head Start. It also calls for larger SNAP benefits with fewer work requirements, more school meal funding, a permanent expanded child tax credit, changes to the earned income tax credit, maternal and reproductive health care, and a higher federal minimum wage adjusted each year for inflation. It expresses support for legislation such as the Equality Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act. As a resolution, it does not create new law or spend money.
