Paid Leave Works!

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!

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.

We’re tired of being in the shadows, we need 12 weeks of Paid 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.
