Happy #NationalParentsDay to the parents who love unconditionally and work tirelessly.
One of the benefits #PaidLeave provides is not having to choose between your job and caring for your children.

ALL workers deserve access to #PaidLeave.
This report tells us what we already know, that in the U.S., #PaidLeave is highly skewed toward adults with higher incomes, with college degrees, and who work full time.

CT has already seen the positive impact paid leave has had on our caregivers. All families deserve to care for their loved ones without risking their jobs.

“...people are no longer forced to choose between..being a caregiver for their loved ones or paying the electric bill, and bonding with their newborn or buying diapers.”

We’re in a state of constantly being on guard and trying to prepare for whatever comes next, and still stay on top of our finances and caring for our family.” - Nija Phelps testified before congress last week.

"People faced with challenges such as taking care of a loved one who's sick or have mental challenges, should have paid time off to do that, and not worry about how to pay a bill. Having paid time off is not going to make anybody rich." - Ms. Price @MomsRising @WaysMeansCmte

“Inflation” is not just a phenomenon it’s corporations raising prices and making record breaking profits in a pandemic on the backs of workers—while helping to block the commonsense policies like paid leave & care that would keep workers and families healthy while reducing costs.

We agree, @RepJohnLarson! “Yo-yo” policies are not the solution. We need #paidleaveforall and to #solvechildcare

The same forces that deny #LGBTQIAEqualPay to queer and trans people of color also deny workers #PaidLeave and #PaidSickDays. #prideinyourpay

Women like @_nija_p_ struggle to keep their housing as caretakers without paid family and medical leave. This is America without #paidleaveforall @WaysMeansCmte hearing on #paidleave, #childcare & women.

“We are in a state of constantly being on guard, trying to prepare best for whatever comes next…It's hard to feel positive and keep going when it doesn't feel like your present or future is stable.” - @_nija_p_
Working women are burned out and need #PaidLeaveForAll now.
