Team, we need your help. It will only take two minutes and it costs you absolutely nothing — but it could help make a huge impact.
We know that the period after a child is born is critical for development.
Unfortunately, the United States is failing when it comes to family and medical leave laws.
We are gathering 2,000 signatures to demand that every member of Congress stands up for change.
TELL CONGRESS: STRENGTHEN OUR PARENTAL LEAVE LAWS!
Across the world, in the vast majority of developed countries, paid leave is the standard.
In the United States? Parents are only guaranteed 12 weeks of unpaid leave and that’s only if the company employs over 50 people.
More than half of American businesses don’t have to guarantee any leave for parents.
This is a shameful practice for the most prosperous country on Earth, and it’s up to all of us to demand change.
Let’s send a message: pass real parental leave policies now!
We can do this,
Team Bennet |
