Access to justice also implies overcoming systematic barriers: Financial, linguistic, cultural, and timeliness.

I want to know who is at the table, what consumer groups?

So if cash is king, and the dollar is king, then the queen that is equal would be that digital dollar.

One size will not fit all, so we are going to have to keep the options.

How will the Fed work to ensure that all consumers have access to a central bank digital currency, specifically the unbanked and underbanked population?

Could you define what that means? Are you talking to consumer groups?

Where are we in the decision process, because I am a little frustrated, and I am here toward the end.

Thank you. Dr. Brainard, I would like to shift gears briefly and discuss the use of stablecoins for remittances.

If we want to reduce abortion, then we would provide free contraception and widely-accepted sex education.

Restricting access to abortion care has ripple effects across generations.

The Senate needs to join us in protecting this essential human right to privacy and liberty by passing that bill.

If the real goal is to protect women, this is doing exactly the opposite.

Freedom has no gender. It is not wrapped in pink and baby blue. Freedom is for all.

Abortion is healthcare. Abortion is a human right, period.
