murray. joining us to discuss is cluf albright, the co-founder of the black matters voters found, a progressive fund that is seeking to expand black voting. we know democrats blocked this investigate billn texas at litre of for now by leaving and denying the legislative body a quorum. what role did your organization have in convincing these democratic legislators that this was necessary to do? >> yeah. thanks, jake. i mean, first and foremost, it was a sustained campaign that -- and a wide organize -- after all. thaelt why we're seeing this motoring and we expended yom of the work we did asking georgians to get involved and we're xwoing that with things they were doing, patch-through calls and starting to deal with more direction actions, not just at the capital but even some of the businesses like at&t so there's a wide number of strategies and a solition of offeringizations will. -- which set the stage for what they did. you say were -- what's your recall and they say using such language trivializes the horrors of jim crow laws. what do you say to them? yeah. it's a great question. at the end of the day when we think about jim crow, we often think about the whites only, the blacks on

billing of the pell grant and the continuous support of covert relief funds. i think you for your time and attention, and also listening to my long story. it has been an absolute honor. sen. murray: thank you very much. we appreciate your personal perspective. thank you. president put maria -- president pumariega. ms. pumariega: thank you for inviting me here today to testify regarding cares funding for community colleges. my name is madigan -- madeline pumariega. i must say that since the first day i arrived on campus high-priority has been to ensure not only the physical safety of our students, but also the physical safety of our organization. i must say that -- that on behalf of the over 1100 community colleges across america, i know that we service the economic and workforce engine for our community. i am a date college, known as democracy's college, is the nation's most diverse institution of higher education, with a student body representing 167 nations, and one of the largest community college and universities across the country, serving 120,000 students. very few institutions have had a greater impact on reasons they serve like we do here in ame date county. -- in miami-

murray. those people step up to the plate every day and they do what's right for veterans. and let's talk about the toxic exposure bill. let's talk about that bill. if world war i we had mustard gas, all right. the v.a. had no capacity to deal with those veterans. in world war ii we had radiation. the v.a. had no capacity. in vietnam war we had asian orange. by the way, they've died. they've died, and they've died again. because this body refuses to give the v.a. the tools they need to take care of our veterans. and now we're doing the same thing with burn pills. i'm here to tell you. i had a veteran stand up my very first year on the v.a. committee, a screet familiar veteran stood up in the back of the room in a town hall and said you are not going to treat this generation of veterans like you treated ours. the vietnam veterans. well, i'm telling you what. if we want to close the door and we want to delay and we want to push back, what's going on with burn pits? then let's have them die. you were at the hearing, the lung transplant guy was at. we had to juggle that hearing so he could even be at it because he was on

consent that the bill be considered read a third time and passed and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. the presiding officer: is there objection? mrs. murray: madam president, reserving the right to object, right now experts at the centers for disease control and prevention are continuing to update their mask requirements based on the latest developments, including requirements related to travel. they need us to be reinforcing their science-based work to keep people safe, not overruling it. we cannot pretend this pandemic is over. this virus is still spreading. it is still mutating. it is still costing lives, and it is still leaving survivors are long haul symptoms. the new delta variant is more contagious, more likely to send them to the hospital, and already in our country. we've made great progress on vaccinations, but there are still people who are not vaccinated, as well as people who cannot yet get vaccinated we know masks remain a simple, effective way to protect everyone, especially in small crowded spaces -- in an airplane, on a bus or a train. getting rid of mask requirements for travel before the experts tell us it is safe to do

that the bill be considered read a third time and passed than had that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. the presiding officer: is there objection? mrs. murray: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: mr. president, reserving the right to object. let me say that over the last year, we heard constantly that you should, quote, stay home when you are sick. it's good advice, of course, and the right thing for public health and i certainly encourage people to do it. but what i thought about every single time is what about the workers who can't just stay home because there is a lot of them. right now 32 million american workers do not have access to a single paid sick day. let me repeat that. 32 million people in the united states will lose pay if they stay home because they are sick or because they have to care for a sick loved one, and only 20% of private sector workers in the united states have paid family leave through their employer. meaning millions of workers will lose pay if they give birth or have a sick child for just a few examples. what i hear from workers in these situations is they need to know

bill is passed. the senator from washington. mrs. murray: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that i and senator schumer be permitted to complete our remarks prior to the next vote. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. murray: thank you, mr. president. you know, it has been more thans been more than half a century since the equal pay act became law, and 12 years since president obama signed the lilly ledbetter fair pay act, but women in the united states still on average earn 82 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts and the wage gap is far greater for women of color, because even though the equal pay act and the lilly ledbetter act were critical steps forward there is clearly a lot more we have got to do. right now an employer can brush aside reports of pay discrimination by saying things like, quote, well, he was a better negotiator. or they work in different buildings. i mean, what does that have to do with it? and too often a woman's history of being paid less means she gets paid less in the future because her p

senators menendez and risch as well as murray, durbin, peters, brown and wyden, who i am committing working with to put real teenage in the provisions in this bill. the job is not done until the legislation moves through the house and on to the president's desk. now that the bill has passed the senate, we're going to work with speaker pelosi and the relevant chairs in the house to move this bill forward as quickly as possible. of course the house can bring in additional priorities, but i am intent on seeing the major thrust of this legislation become law. the bill is so important to the future of america that the house and senate must come together and send president biden a bill he is very, very eager to sign. yesterday the senate took a bold, strong step towards boosting america's science and technology and innovation for decades. we're going to keep at it -- keep at it -- until we cross the finish line. on paycheck fairness, almost immediately, however, we saw the limits of bipartisanship in the senate last evening right after we voted on usica, the united states innovation and competition act a mince after coming together to pass that sweepi
