Access to paid leave is patchy across the U.S., leaving many parents without a crucial lifeline. 💔 To improve the health of the nation's parents, Congress must make paid family leave available nationwide. #PaidLeaveForAll #FamilyFirst #PaidLeave www.duluthnewstribune.com/opinion/colu...

From the column: "While some argue that paid leave is too expensive, the truth is that these policies pay for themselves."

It's a fact: #PaidLeave stabilizes families and strengthens businesses. With corporate leaders like Levi's and Patagonia supporting the FAMILY Act, the case is undeniable. Their endorsement confirms this policy is a win-win for workers and employers alike.
