.@JohnKerry @narendramodi @lopezobrador, the urgency at #COP28 was clear. If we don’t phase out fossil fuels, we won’t remain under the 1.5C limit needed for a livable future. What will you do to fast-track a just energy transition for all? #ProjectDandelion

This is beyond frustrating. Without a plan for #PaidLeave, we FAIL working families. It's not just time- it is past time for the U.S. to offer the #PaidLeaveForAll working people need. @PaidLeaveUS

🚨 Senate Democrats have decided to drop paid family and medical leave, a key cornerstone of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, from their mammoth social spending package Wednesday after attempts to drastically pare it down were deemed insufficient, three sources tell me.
Come on guys- we are so close to changing the way we do this, the way we support families….this is NOT the thing to cut. #FamilyCareCantWait
