The US is the only industrialized nation in the world that doesn't have maternity leave.

That means that only a few weeks after giving birth, millions of mothers across the country are expected to return back to work, leaving them unable to care for their weeks-old babies. 

I'm signing on in support of providing longer paid leave for people who need time off to care for their new child, their health, or a family member. Will you join me?

The world's sole superpower requires the same level of paid maternity benefits as fellow economic powerhouses: Swaziland, Lesotho, and Papua New Guinea. That is to say, zilch.

That's not right, which is why I'm fighting to protect our families and extend their paid leave. Will you join me?

Thanks for taking action!
