Hi
John,

After a tense day yesterday, we are still in danger of losing paid
leave protections in the Build Back Better plan. 

We need your help to make sure President Biden, Leader Schumer, and
Senator Manchin hear the tens of millions of families and voters
demanding #PaidLeaveForAll. 

Call your senators right now and tell them to #SavePaidLeave!

Dear
John,

We should all be outraged that paid leave is still at risk of being
cut from the Build Back Better plan.

There is no conceivable way to build back from a pandemic, jobs crisis
and care crisis without paid leave and other essential caregiving
support that women and families urgently need.

Call your senators now and encourage them to keep fighting for paid
leave.

Paid leave is popular - a recent CBS News poll showed 73% of
Americans support it. Yet, the U.S. is one of only six countries in
the world that doesn't have paid leave.

A national paid family and medical leave program would allow people to
take time off of work to care for themselves and their families,
regardless of who their employer is. A policy like this is essential
to fixing the inequities that are pushing women out of the workforce
and into poverty.

We cannot let a few men block our opportunity to see this progress.

Call your senators now and encourage them to keep fighting for paid
leave.

If your senators have already been vocal supporters of paid leave,
they still need to hear from you today. We need them fighting harder
than ever to make paid leave non-negotiable.

When we first got the Family and Medical Leave Act passed almost 30
years ago, it was a huge fight with a great victory. But, too many
people are still left out of it. And, without paid leave, far too many
people cannot afford to take the time off.

We've been generating media coverage all over the country, but your
senators need to hear from you TODAY.

Tomorrow could be too late.

CALL NOW

Thank you!
