Paid leave is good for Wisconsin's economy, and I am very disappointed that JFC Republicans have stripped #PaidFamilyLeave from Governor Tony Evers' budget proposal.
I'm grateful for every chance I get to normalize #BusinessDad life and I hope every American gets access to #PaidFamilyLeave and every dad in particular has the confidence to take advantage of it.
Thank you to parent Jessica & Max Blum, Chief of Staff for Sen. Richard J. Codey in D-27, for meeting for #StrollingThunder NJ ! Jessica talked about #lactation support, #doula services, #paidfamilyleave , & affordable & quality #childcare .

We were disappointed to see #PaidFamilyLeave axed without discussion from the budget. Our neighbors in MI, MN, and IL are leading by example, supporting families, and attracting talent. We must prioritize our workers, or continue to watch the next generation leave Wisconsin.
WI and Paid Family Leave...👀

By not having #paidfamilyleave , family members are forced back into the workplace instead of caring for their loved ones.
America is an outlier on this. The United States is the only first-world country without any guaranteed paid parental leave at the national level.
#PaidFamilyLeave HB 988 passes 3rd reader in the House! The Senate bill will come up next - stand by!

.@cagovernor Gavin Newsom we’re counting on you to support #SB951 ! #AffordablePaidLeaveforAll #PaidFamilyLeave Work & Family CA
Expanding the definition of “family” to extended and chosen family supports the growing aging population and reflects the reality of many caregivers.
California can address the gaps in its #PaidFamilyLeave program with #AB518 (Buffy Wicks).

My scenario: 18 hours of labor, C-Section, infection, 7 days in hospital & then my mother in another state died the day after I came home w/new baby.

Do the right thing & bring A2880 to a vote NOW. Stillbirth parents in NY deserve the #paidfamilyleave they were promised to HEAL after childbirth.

Carl E. Heastie Latoya Joyner #Stillbirth moms need to heal their bodies. We are at 5x's greater risk for maternal complications like #maternalmortality . Stripping NY's loss moms of #PaidFamilyLeave is nothing short of inhumane.

If women participated in the Wisconsin workforce at the same rate as they do in countries with #PaidFamilyLeave , we would have an estimated 22,000 more workers earning $758 million more in income per year.
Minnesota will become the 12th state to have a program for #PaidFamilyLeave and #PaidSickLeave . The MN plan, starting in 2026, will cover all employees.
#PaidFamilyLeave Can Change Our Lives but right now not everyone can afford to use #PFL . @cagovernor Gavin Newsom support #SB951 to make paid leave affordable for all! Work & Family CA
Carl E. Heastie Latoya Joyner #Stillbirth families in NY are relying on you! And the rest of the nation is looking to NYS to lead on humane #PaidFamilyLeave . Be the champions our community needs!
