On September 5th, the safe leave working group announced the release of “The Need for Paid Safe Leave & Model Legislative Language.” This new resource is the first product of the safe leave working group, of which CLASP is a proud member. A resource for policymakers, advocates, and stakeholders that provides key context for the importance of paid safe leave, this document includes model policy language for providing paid safe leave, which can be used directly or adapted to appropriate contexts. Please feel free to share this resource widely!
The safe leave working group is made up of state, national, and tribal experts and advocates from across policy spaces, based on the principle that paid, protected leave from work is an essential tool for the safety, agency, and economic security of survivors of all types of violence, including gender-based violence and harassment, family and domestic violence, and sexual violence. The Center for American Progress and Futures Without Violence co-chair the working group.
If you have questions or are interested in joining the working group, please contact Molly Weston Williamson ([email protected]) at the Center for American Progress.
