New Yorkers need stronger #PaidLeave now! Workers are speaking out and sharing their experiences to call on NY leaders to prioritize the strongest possible protections in the budget, particularly for individuals who need time off for illness or injury: abetterbalance.org/workers-voices…

Thank you NY Senator Jessica Ramos Michaelle C. Solages for fighting for the strongest paid family & medical leave program possible for New Yorkers in the budget. We are grateful for your leadership in promoting the health and economic security of workers and their loved ones.

Did you know? New York’s paid medical leave program has not been updated since 1989. No one should be forced to choose between paying rent, and recovering after a serious illness or injury. Join us in taking action by writing your reps! takeaction.io/abb/tell-your-…
