#BackToSchool can also mean getting the call: your child is sick. Too many caregivers fear answering because missing work to care for a child can mean losing pay--or even a job.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Everyone deserves access to a #PaidSickDay policy.

NEW report: Nationwide, more than 29 million employees have no paid holidays off. US law provides no paid holidays, no paid family leave—no paid time off. But there are proposals in Congress to change that. Read more at PaidLeaveForAll.org.

Rest in power, Gloria Steinem, a lifelong advocate for working women who dedicated her life to fighting for women’s equality, equal pay and respect on the job. We’re grateful for her lifetime of courage, leadership and commitment to making the world better for women everywhere.

“Our nation has lost an iconic voice, and our movement has lost an extraordinary partner. Gloria Steinem understood that valuing caregiving and enabling people to be good providers and good family members is key to achieving racial, gender, and economic equity... We are deeply grateful that she stood with and inspired our movement.” -Gayle Goldin, Family Values @ Work

NEW in @MsMagazine: Family Values @ Work Executive Director Gayle Goldin and Women’s Economic Futures founder Julie Kashen make the case that care gives people the time and stability to show up for one another—and our democracy.

You shouldn't have to need paid time to care for yourself or loved ones to support policies that allow everyone doing the same -- just sayin' 😕

We are not surprised more dads are taking leave to care for their children. Dads (and everyone else) also need time to care for their partners, siblings, parents, loved ones, and themselves. It's time to make paid leave more accessible to ALL.

Care is respect for human dignity. Everyone should be able to take the time they need to heal, seek care, and support a loved one without fear of losing their job or income.

"The Family and Medical Leave Act protected my job, but it did not protect my income."
There's a movement for that: #paidleaveforall

Not just paternity leave, but paid family land medical leave for ALL. (Can someone send this to JD Vance?)

Thank you to all who joined us last night for the screening of Lifelines, a short film about what’s at stake for families without national paid leave, and a passionate discussion about what it will take to pass this legislation.
We’re not in this fight alone!

We applaud New Jersey improving paid leave access for those with the greatest need but often excluded -- women, people of color, low-wage workers, part-time workers, and those working for small businesses.
