Friends,
Today, we thank the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and other maternal figures
in our lives for all they've done for us and our families.
But now, more than ever, our mothers deserve more than just gratitude
and cards.
This year, let's recommit to ensuring they get the equal treatment
they deserve - equal pay for equal work, access to healthcare, flexible
work hours, and affordable and accessible child care.
Our mothers are the backbones of our families and our communities, and
when moms are strong, our families are strong.
Happy Mother's Day.
Sincerely,
Letitia James
New York City Public Advocate
