43,000+ children have been dropped from FL's KidCare program for nonpayment of premiums. These are the moments when leadership matters most. Rep. Bartleman and Sen. Dem.

According to the UN, the gender pay gap is still estimated at 20% worldwide. We all deserve to be recognized and compensated for the work we do — and it should never be undermined simply because of our gender. #InternationalEqualPayDay #ShesTheChange

National #VoterRegistrationDay is about more than just signing up to vote. It’s about building a democracy that truly represents us all.

Right now, women are still underrepresented in government:
- 28% of Congress
- 24% of governors
- 34% of state legislators
- And 25% of mayors in major cities

On #WomensEqualityDay, we honor the generations of women who fought tirelessly to secure our right to vote, our right to be heard, and our right to lead. Their courage laid the foundation for the progress we’ve made — but as we know, the work for true equality is far from over.
