Making sure you saw this, team. As a new dad, this one hits close to home for me.

Not everyone’s been as lucky as I am on this, and there’s simply no excuse for that.

In a country as prosperous as ours, no one should be forced to work when they’re sick, deprived of time with a new child, or unable to care for their loved ones.

That’s what this petition is all about. With Gerry’s leadership, we won the fight for most federal workers. Join him to finish the fight for the rest of our working families today!

Here’s the link to sign on.

Thanks -- this one’s personal.

Donald,

It’s 2020, but nearly a quarter of new moms in America are forced to return to work within two weeks after giving birth.

And almost every day, another hard-working American has to give up a job or steady income because someone they love gets sick or needs care.

Why? It’s simple: The US is the ONLY wealthy country in the world without mandatory paid family leave.

JOIN GERRY: FIGHT FOR PAID LEAVE

It’s shameful that we’ve gone this long without mandatory paid leave in this country.

That’s why Gerry led the fight to secure paid family leave for most federal workers, and it’s why he’s ready to fight to get it for the rest of America’s working families, too.

He needs our help to mount a strong show of force and get this issue the attention it deserves. Donald, that’s where you come in. Will you sign his petition?

SIGN THE PETITION

Thanks for joining Gerry in the fight for working families!
