Let Congress and the White House know how important paid leave is to you and that you want to see permanent paid leave passed right away. TAKE ACTION

→ Add your name to our letter demanding our members of Congress move quickly to pass paid leave for all.

Dear Friend,

Twelve months into this pandemic, 500,000 people lost, and we still haven’t passed a permanent national paid leave law, even though the research is abundantly clear that paid leave in a pandemic saves lives and keeps people in the jobs they need. [1]  This is a no-brainer. And yet... we still don’t have permanent paid leave. 

Let Congress and the White House know how important paid leave is to you and that you want to see permanent paid leave passed right away.

Because the United States has no national paid family leave law, when the pandemic hit, we were unprepared. It should be a given that we should not work and spread illness when we are critically sick and recovering, that we should never have to choose between our families and our paychecks, our lives and our livelihoods. Our families need and want a sustainable paid leave policy in place so that families and businesses are never scrambling for piecemeal solutions when critical illness strikes, a serious family caregiving crisis arises, or a new child arrives.

We should never be in this situation again.

Add your name now, demanding our members of Congress move quickly to pass permanent paid leave.

Together we’re a powerful force for our families.
