Too many VT families must choose between caring for their loved ones and paying their bills. No one should have to make that choice. That’s why we’re proud to call for a strong #PaidLeave program with @AARPVermont and the VT Paid Leave Coalition Coalition in this week’s 7Days.

Love team National Partnership and appreciate all of their leadership moving the care work forward.
