“Paid leave is much more than a women’s issue; it is a military families’ issue, a small business issue, a racial justice issue, a disability rights issue, a public health issue, and an economic imperative.” @ABetterBalance @NPWF @pn3policy @dhuckelbridge msnbc.com/know-your-value/ou…

Why paid family leave is much more than a women’s issue 

OP/ED: It’s the 31-year anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act. But we still desperately need a federal paid policy that matches our modern workforce.

"America is clearly at an inflection point. Dr. King reminded us that change doesn't roll in on the wheels of inevitability. He said 'the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.' But his life demonstrates that we're the ones that have to bend that arc."
