Today, we honor Harriet Tubman, an American hero who courageously dedicated her life to liberate people who were enslaved.

Her legacy continues to inspire us in our fight for justice against oppression.

Truly disgusting behavior from a man who claims to serve his country.

Americans deserve better than this hate.

Trump promised to lower costs.

He lied.

The Trump administration has eliminated thousands of health care positions at the VA since last year.

Veterans fought for our freedom. They should not have to fight for their own health care.

Congress alone has the constitutional authority to declare war. Not Trump. Not Hegseth.

DWC members are fighting for women and families in the Farm Bill. In the wealthiest country in the world, no one should ever go hungry.

Time and time again, the Trump administration fails survivors.

We demand that the Department of Education do its job and protect students.

Caregiving is essential to our economy. It makes all other work possible.

Hardworking Americans are tired of a system that only benefits the wealthy, well-off, and well-connected.

Equality Caucus slams latest anti-trans move by EEOC. Read more at the link in our bio. IMAGE: U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission seal.

“The EEOC was created with the explicit mission of protecting American workers from discrimination—but under Trump and Chair Andrea Lucas, the Commission has abandoned its duty in order to push Trump’s radical, anti-equality, and anti-worker agenda. Andrea Lucas has spent her time leading EEOC undermining enforcement of minority workers’ rights—she’s exactly who the Commission was designed to fight back against. The Supreme Court made clear in Bostock that transgender workers are protected from discrimination; the EEOC cannot undue those protections. Overturning the Lusardi precedent is just Andrea Lucas’s latest slap in the face to every American who has faced discrimination because of their gender identity. Authorizing vigilante bathroom police doesn’t just endanger transgender people—it puts every girl and woman at risk, especially those who don’t fit Republican extremists’ idea of what women “should” look like or act.” Rep. Mark Takano, Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus

What does this mean for trans workers? Today, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued a decision permitting a federal agency employer to exclude transgender employees from bathrooms that align with their gender identity--overturning a previous EEOC precedent that had held that it was a violation of Title VII for agencies to prohibit transgender employees from using restrooms consistent with their gender identity. EEOC’s decision “applies only to federal agencies subject to the E.E.O.C.’s administrative complaint process for federal employees.” This decision does not apply to private employers, nor does it bind any federal court. Importantly, all transgender employees are still protected from employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as confirmed by the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock.

Today's decision by the EEOC to overturn protections for transgender federal employees is a disgrace.

This is exactly the kind of discrimination the EEOC was designed to fight, but under Trump & Chair Andrea Lucas—the EEOC has enabled more discrimination than it has ended.

We are continuing the path to justice that Virginia Roberts Giuffre made possible.

The world is not moving on. We’re not looking away.

What is the state of the Union?

Hard working families are struggling to afford health care.

We’re fighting for a better future.

In 1920, women marched, protested, and starved for the right to vote.

In 2026, we’re using that vote to fight back.

We’re fighting for a better & brighter future.

In Trump’s America, costs keep rising, health care is slipping out of reach, and violence is a daily headline.

Meanwhile, DWC members are fighting for a better future with lower costs, health care, and safety for every woman and family.

The DWC is proud to have helped bring Epstein survivors to DC for the State of the Union.

While Trump paints a false picture of this country, he’ll have to confront the women he continues to deny justice.

We stand with survivors—now and always.
