These headlines say it all:
Democrats' do or die moment

Workers are all for paid leave

Once in a decade chance to overhaul health care
[link removed]
It's clear that we need to invest in building a robust care infrastructure -- for workers, for caregivers, and for care recipients - but Congress is hearing plenty from conservative men ...
... who don't think we need to invest in caregiving
... who think paid leave can wait another year
... who want to continue dismantling the Affordable Care Act
... who are happy appeasing corporate donors (by privatizing our roads and bridges) while turning a blind eye to the urgent needs of workers.
That's why Congress needs to hear from you!
Please contact Congress -- RIGHT NOW -- while our allies are
finalizing the details of President Biden's Build Back Better Act.

Everything is on the line!
Urge your representative to keep paid leave in the bill, to ensure it
gets adequate funding to make a meaningful difference, and to make
damn sure this critical legislation doesn't simply stall out.
TAKE ACTION

It's past time to recognize caregiving as an essential part of
our American infrastructure. The devaluation of caregiving work is
rooted in racism and sexism and disproportionately harms women and
workers of color.
The pandemic has clearly demonstrated that every single one of us will
need to give care or receive it at some point in our lives, so please
speak up today when your voice is needed most.
It only takes a minute to make the call, and together our voice TODAY
could be what gets paid leave across the finish line.
Take action: Make sure your voice is heard while final decisions are
being made on Capitol Hill today.

Thanks for all that you do!
