🚨 HAPPENING NOW🚨 Chairman Rep. Richard Neal and the Ways & Means Cmte are holding a hearing to discuss the challenges working women face without access to affordable child care and paid leave. Click link below to watch ⬇️ youtu.be/WowKYjMgl4Q

Chairman Rep. Richard Neal: "Our failure to recognize basic caregiving obligations in the U.S. has driven millions of women out of the workforce since last March, with a majority of those being women of color. Over a year later, many have yet to return."

Chairman Rep. Richard Neal: "And with regard to paid leave, the United States is the only industrialized nation with no paid maternity leave. This is embarrassing and it is unacceptable."

This is such a critical insight. #families #caregiving

Proud to advocate for families with Center for Public Justice familiesvalued.org/strengthening-… #paidFMLA

Amen! Care spans the life span and includes care for oneself during a medical crisis and recovery. #paidFMLA

We must honor paid and unpaid work as equally valuable!

Amen. Faith leaders stand with citizens on calling for structural solutions to honoring care vocations across the life span. You can sign with us: familiesvalued.org/strengthening-… @familiesvalued Center for Public Justice

This is America without #paidleaveforall The women who birth this nation deserve better.

Thank you President Donald J. Trump for the American Families Plan. #paidleaveforall is critical for caregivers and care receivers of all ages. I supported this initiative by signing this letter to Congress. To add your voice in support: familiesvalued.org/strengthening-… @familiesvalued Center for Public Justice

My journey from "You have #cancer." to "You have support." I was surrounding by many blessings but not legally guaranteed protections from #FMLA. Would love to hear other pastors journeys with #medicalleave christiancentury.org/article/opinio…

Happy to chat with w/Jon theChristianCentury about pastors and medical leave. #pastors Have you taken paid or unpaid leave? What does that look like? youtu.be/F0IBpcJhhHQ
