Dear Friend,
We’re at a critical decision point and our members of Congress need to
know how vital Paid Leave is to you and your family --- and that we need
them to pass paid leave for all this summer!
[ [link removed] ]→ Demand Congress acts quickly to pass comprehensive paid family and
medical leave so that working families will finally have permanent and
robust paid leave for all and our economy can thrive.
It’s super critical that we put pressure on our members of Congress right
now. That’s because decisions are being made--as we speak--about what will
and won’t be in the next big infrastructure packages that Congress passes.
And while WE, you, me, our friends, know all too well how important access
to paid leave is, people in Washington, D.C. keep saying they’re not
hearing enough from folks like you and me. Let’s make sure we’re using our
outside voices (and our emailing and texting fingers!) to put the same
pressure on Congress that our families feel when we don’t have paid leave
for when a critical health crisis strikes or a new baby arrives and are
also facing a summer without childcare options and camps and a fall where
we’re not sure if/when our kids will be back in school.
This policy is urgently needed so that workers and families can balance
the needs of work and their critical caregiving responsibilities in times
of health crisis and when a new baby arrives, businesses can succeed, and
our economy can thrive.
Believe it or not, the United States is the only industrialized nation in
the world without a federal paid leave policy. It’s time to change that!
Paid leave is essential to millions of workers and their families -- and
it’s beneficial for employees and employers alike. So much so that in
order to build back better, we must invest in our country, our businesses,
and in our people by ensuring paid leave is included in an economic
recovery plan.

leave for all this summer. Just click here to add your name to our letter.
All families, and there are many kinds -- whether it’s two fathers, two
mothers, a mom and a dad, grandparents, adoptive parents, foster parents,
or chosen family -- deserve the opportunity to take paid leave so they
might care for their loved ones or themselves in critical times of
critical need or for the arrival of a new baby.
We’re so close to winning this, let’s work together to make it happen.
*Please also share this link with your friends and family so they can take
action, too. The more of us who raise our voices, the faster we’ll help
make change
happen. [link removed]
Thank you for all you do to make this a better place for all families!
