Dear
John,

With the dangerous delta variant spreading nationwide, and businesses and schools returning to in-person, it is absolutely critical that every worker and family have access to paid leave. 

For far too long, paid leave has been a luxury left up to the whim of employers. 

And we know from our recent paid leave survey that many of you who've needed paid leave to care for yourself or a family member didn't have that luxury.

We're fighting for a national paid family and medical leave program that would allow people to take time off of work to care for themselves and their families, regardless of who their employer is. A policy like this is essential to fixing the inequities that are pushing women out of the workforce and into poverty. 

Will you help us make paid leave a reality for all workers?

It matters when you speak out for economic justice - especially now!

Thanks to this community of activists and our partners in the Paid Leave for All coalition, Senate Democrats just advanced a budget resolution that lays the groundwork for much-needed investments to address long-standing inequities in health care, social and climate policy.

This is a huge deal!

We truly have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fix our crumbling care infrastructure - including creating a long-overdue and first-ever national paid family and medical leave program.

The United States is the only high-wealth nation in the world that doesn't have a paid leave program. And the past year has highlighted just how much caregiving is an essential part of our community. 

But despite all the support for paid leave, there's still a chance it can get cut from the plan before it's finalized this fall. 

Join our rapid response team today to help make sure your Senators do the right thing.
