CEOs like Dave Bolotsky know paid leave is good for business. But too many New Yorkers struggle to stay afloat financially when serious health needs arise. Fix NY's paid medical leave – pass A9571/S172! @NYSA_Majority @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins amny.com/opinion/new-yorks-p…

The federal government has reopened after the longest shutdown in our nation’s history—but the shutdown and the uncertainty it created left millions without clarity on the long-term future of vital programs like SNAP, deepening a sense of instability for households already stretched thin. @HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP

Number 2: Eliminate draconian public benefit eligibility requirements. Number 3: Expand funding for disabled women to live and work in our communities instead of trapped in institutions.

Today is Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day — a critical day to remember that disabled women are paid just over half of what nondisabled men are paid in a year. #DisabledWomensEPD #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay

🚨 A #governmentshutdown will hurt families first. From food & housing, to schools & health care, every delay or cut lands hardest on working people. Congress must do its job & pass a bipartisan #fundingbill. Read more: familyvaluesatwork.org/govt-… @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @SenateGOP @SenateDems

Hey @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats, get back to work. Fund care, and put working people first. America's families need affordable food, housing, child care, & access to affordable health care—not shutdowns & sabotage. #CareNotCuts

Giving billionaires a massive tax cut on the same day they’re gutting SNAP and Medicaid clearly shows who too many in our government care about - and it’s definitely not working families. TY @RepDebDingell for telling the stories of Michiganders like those organizing with @momjustice in our network. #CareNotCuts

BREAKING: @FmlyValuesWork & @mainstreetweets Decry 45S Tax Credit. The proposed tax credit will NOT close gaps in access to #paidleave and only serves to enshrine a leg up for big business over #smallbiz. This policy is a hard no. There are better models. familyvaluesatwork.org/famil…
