Paid family leave for all, now
Your Action Status: NOT YET SIGNED -> [ [link removed] ]Sign Now
Here are the facts: Right now only 19% of working people have access to
paid family and medical leave through their employers. Unpaid leave under
the federal Family and Medical Leave Act covers just under 60% of working
people BUT the fact that it is unpaid means it’s not usable for working
folks who cannot afford to take unpaid time away from work - especially
now.
[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress: Unpaid leave means no leave - and they MUST pass paid
family and medical leave for all working people.

Quick signature: Do Not Let Families Lose Critical Home Visiting Services

Every five years, the MIECHV funding program must be reauthorized (i.e.,
re-negotiated and committed to) by Congress. The MIECHV program was last
reauthorized in 2018 at a funding level of $400 million a year and is set
to expire at the end of this month. If this program is not reauthorized by
September, funding is not guaranteed, which would leave 140,000 parents
and children in 1,054 counties across the country without vital home
visiting support.

Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) funding and expand the program to
help support more babies, families, and providers.

As we plan the next year of our child care work and increase our pressure
to get solutions to the ongoing crisis, we need to hear from you: what are
your child needs right now? How are you planning your child care and
aftercare for the new school year? Are you struggling to pay for child
care? Do you have a pre-k you love? Has your child not been able to secure
a pre-k spot? Are they experiencing long waitlists or staffing issues? We
want to know all of it, so we can let legislators know: child care is
still a struggle and we need them to invest in child care.

Sign & tell Biden to end Title 42!

Latest news reports show that the Biden Administration is considering
expanding Title 42 to include Venezuelans, Cubans, and Nicaraguans. This
is a step in the wrong direction! And we must voice our opposition before
plans are finalized! No asylum-seeking person or family should be forced
to return to the dangerous conditions from which they fled without a
proper hearing. Title 42 is not, and never has been, a public safety
measure. It is a cruel, dangerous Trump policy that should be ended for
all children and all adults. There is no justification for putting asylum
seekers in harm’s way. Make sure you sign this petition so we can get
President Biden to end this cruel Trump-era policy once and for all!
