Here's to 20 Years of California #PaidFamilyLeave!
So excited for California’s wage replacement rates to increase to 90% for low and middle income earners in 2025.
Thank you everyone who has came together to improve access, remove barriers, and raise awareness over the years!

‼️ @CAgovernor is proposing to cut care for the members of our community who are struggling the most in his #CAbudget.
Now is the time to get loud and fight back for #Health4All!
Help us make sure #CAleg hears our plea; send a letter with our tool:

We’re so excited to share that SB 1149 (@SenMariaEDurazo) Bereavement Leave for Chosen or Extended Family has passed the Senate Floor 39-0.
Let’s ensure workers can use bereavement leave and are not forced to choose between mourning a loved one and keeping their job!

FCLCA supports SB 1149!
California caregiving laws recognize chosen and extended family relationships. It’s time for bereavement leave to do the same. SB 1149, introduced today by @SenMariaEDurazo would allow workers to take bereavement leave to grieve for a chosen or extended family member.

Among Americans who provide care to an adult 65 or older, more than 23% provide care for a friend, neighbor, or other unrelated person. Our bereavement leave laws should reflect the reality of caregivers.

The @cagovernor's #CAbudget announced today—even with a lower forecasted deficit—continues to put immigrant communities and the whole health system at risk by delaying action on looming budget shortfalls created by the Trump Administration's H.R. 1. health-access.org/health-car…

New Year, Same Paid Family Leave. #PFL and State Disability Insurance provide paid time off from work to bond with a new child, care for a seriously ill family member, or recover from your own illness. Eligible workers can receive 70%-90% of their regular income while on leave.
