Tell your Member of Congress:

As we mark the 30th anniversary of the FMLA, I am calling on you to become a champion for comprehensive paid family and medical leave.

Working families, especially families of color and those led by women, need a government that takes the side of working people and guarantees the shared prosperity that we have earned, including paid family and medical leave.

Having comprehensive paid leave means having an equitable program that:
-Includes all forms of care: for oneself, a seriously ill family member, or a new child, so everyone can be with the ones they love when caregiving needs emerge.
-Recognizes all families, whether they are multi-generational, LGBTQ, related by blood or affinity, should all be able to care for the people they love.
-Allocates enough time and money for people to afford to use the benefit.

** Feel free to share your story of why we need paid leave **

Comprehensive paid leave will ensure that Americans will have time to care no matter where they live, who they love, or where they work. We need you to prioritize these policies in this Congress because our families can’t wait - it is time to go beyond the FMLA.

Thank you.
