John,
Imagine having to choose between taking care of your new baby or aging parent and putting food on the table. This is a decision that thousands of Americans face daily because the U.S. is one of the only countries in the world without a national paid leave policy.
Paid leave is at the core of our ability to make decisions about if, when, and how to start or grow a family — without it, reproductive freedom is pushed out of reach for many.
Tell your representative that they MUST prioritize passing 12 weeks of universal paid family and medical leave for all working people.
If passed, paid leave would:
- Ensure new parents wouldn’t have to choose between bonding with their child or keeping their paycheck.
- Provide families with financial security while taking the time they need to care for themselves and their loved ones.
Contact your representative now to urge them to pass paid leave and provide long overdue protections to working families.
Thanks for being in this fight,
