Team —

Amid growing concern around COVID-19, schools across Nevada have closed, businesses on the Las Vegas Strip are temporarily shutting their doors, and Governor Sisolak declared a state of emergency.

These precautions are necessary to stop the spread of the virus — but across the country, workers whose jobs don’t offer paid leave have been put in an incredibly difficult situation.

Last year, Democrats in the Nevada State Legislature led the charge to pass the “Paid Leave for Any Reason” bill, which guarantees up to 40 hours of paid leave per benefit year here in Nevada.

It is time for Congress to follow suit and pass paid leave at the federal level. Add your name if you agree →

People should not have to choose between taking care of themselves or a loved one and putting food on the table.

The emergency legislation passed in Congress to address the pandemic is a start — but the need for paid sick leave will outlast the current crisis.

We need a national system in place that ensures workers have the ability to take paid time off to care for themselves or for their families.
