Tell Congress: No one should have to choose between their family and their job!

Our nation's lack of an infrastructure for caregiving — which includes things like paid time off and child care — poses a threat to our nation's public health and the financial security of families. COVID-19 demonstrated that every one of us will need to give care or receive it at some point in our lives.

But those who are the least are least likely to have access to paid leave — a benefit that allows workers to give or receive care while keeping their jobs — are faced with an impossible choice: their families or their jobs. Their health or their work.

Without a national paid family and medical leave program, the longstanding inequities that unduly impact women and people of color in our country will continue.

Congress must pass a national paid family and medical leave policy for all working people.

Show you care. Establish a national paid leave program.

Dear [elected official],

As we work to recover and rebuild, we must address the social and economic inequities that impact the health and safety of individuals and families – whether it’s housing, nutrition, or access to paid family and medical leave. The United States is one of the only high-wealth countries that does NOT guarantee paid family and medical leave. Americans should no longer be forced to make the impossible choice between their financial security and their health. It’s time to create a nationwide, permanent paid family and medical leave program.

Congress must take action to finally establish a permanent national paid leave program.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
