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

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.
