Paid Family Leave Realistic & Fair Wages

August 15, 2023

It’s been so hot lately, but today we’re heated for an entirely different reason. Today is Moms’ Equal Pay Day, marking the fact that moms – across race and ethnicity – must work until August 15th of 2023 to earn what dads made in 2022 alone. Of course, averages alone don’t tell the whole story because, due to structural racism, moms of color face much larger wage gaps when compared separately. It’s beyond frustrating that this year we celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act becoming law, yet we STILL don’t have pay equity.

Paid Family Leave

March 28, 2023

Despite what you may have heard, we’re still in the fight to pass paid family and medical leave for every worker! So be prepared to be sick of us because we’re fighting for paid leave in the halls of Congress, we’re meeting our legislators in district offices, we’re posting on social media, and we’re posting in newspapers across the country. We’re talking to moms and members just like you and we’re not going to stop until we have paid family and medical leave for all.

Paid Family Leave

February 14, 2023

Thirty years ago, the *unpaid* Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was signed into law, and while FMLA is great if you’re covered and if you can afford unpaid leave- it’s not good enough. Three decades is far too long to wait for the promise of paid leave for every worker just like every other industrialized nation already has.
