One quarter of new mothers in the US are expected to return back to work within two weeks of giving birth. Two weeks!
That means that families have to figure out how to care for their two-week-olds while also managing full-time work schedules in order to make ends meet.
Harley thinks that is plain wrong, which is why he's signing on to make sure our families have longer paid leave after giving birth. Will you join him?
It's policies like these that make it so family members have to take unpaid leave to care for their children, which leave them struggling to provide for their newborns.
Will you join Harley in urging Congress to pass the FAMILY Act to give families more paid time to care for their children?
Thank you!

Harley Rouda serves California's 48th district in Congress. In 2018, Harley defeated the 15-term incumbent Dana Rohrabacher in the very first political campaign of Harley's life. During his time in Congress, he's embraced common sense and values to tackle climate change, address deteriorating infrastructure, confront homelessness, and protect Social Security and Medicare. In 2020, Harley will be facing one of the toughest re-election fights in the entire country, so he's depending on the support of grassroots individuals.
