NEW report: Nationwide, more than 29 million employees have no paid holidays off. US law provides no paid holidays, no paid family leave—no paid time off. But there are proposals in Congress to change that. Read more at PaidLeaveForAll.org.

Rest in power, Gloria Steinem, a lifelong advocate for working women who dedicated her life to fighting for women’s equality, equal pay and respect on the job. We’re grateful for her lifetime of courage, leadership and commitment to making the world better for women everywhere.

Thank you to all who joined us last night for the screening of Lifelines, a short film about what’s at stake for families without national paid leave, and a passionate discussion about what it will take to pass this legislation.
We’re not in this fight alone!

Thank you to everyone who joined yesterday’s rally at the State House and stood up for a RI that works for everyone.
The rally is over, but the fight isn’t.
As lawmakers finalize the state budget, call legislative leaders and send a letter of support: bit.ly/4dRCiAU

Had a great time in Denver this weekend at the Colorado screening of Lifelines with @PaidLeaveforAll! We were joined by @RepPettersen, who discussed why paid leave is especially important for NICU families, and highlighted CO's recent NICU leave expansion.

How about universal parental leave this #MothersDay? @FmlyValuesWork and others have made important progress at the state level. But as a country, we're still totally out of line with peer nations.

Three years ago, we passed the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act into law. Since then, this landmark law has been a lifeline for countless pregnant and postpartum workers, who no longer have to choose between their jobs and staying healthy while pregnant.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of CO State Senator Faith Winter, a longtime partner and leader who worked tirelessly to champion Colorado workers and families.

To support pay equity for disabled women, we must end segregated workplaces and subminimum wages. Take action for better jobs and fair pay for disabled workers! Tell Congress: Pass Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act! #DisabledWomensEPD

Today is the first-ever #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay, bringing attention to the alarming wage gap faced by disabled women. For every $1 dollar earned by all nondisabled men, disabled women earners bring home only 50 cents. Half is not enough! #DisabledWomensEPD
Family Values @ Work retweeted
The pay gap is wider for disabled women of color.
Intersectional sexism, racism, and ableism mean they’re paid even less than nondisabled men. We need equal pay now to lift disabled women out of poverty. #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay #DisabledWomensEPD

Today is Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day — a critical day to remember that disabled women are paid just over half of what nondisabled men are paid in a year. #DisabledWomensEPD #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay

We were here in Jersey City today standing with the rest of America to shout out

NO to weaponizing the justice system
NO to dismantling democracy
NO to detention centers and attack on immigrants #NoKIngs in America, period.

🚨 A #governmentshutdown will hurt families first. From food & housing, to schools & health care, every delay or cut lands hardest on working people. Congress must do its job & pass a bipartisan #fundingbill. Read more: familyvaluesatwork.org/govt-…

Thank you @CAgovernor for signing #SB590(@SenMariaEDurazo) and for your continued leadership on Paid Family Leave!
This is a huge victory for Californians who care for their chosen and extended families! CA #PaidLeave program continues to be a model for the rest of the country

“In states… claims for leave to care for new children are filed by nearly the same number of fathers as mothers, according to a June 2025 report by the national advocacy organization Paid Leave for All.” Read more in @Forbes.

Trump & the GOP shut down the government instead of protecting affordable health care.
Over 341,000+ NJ residents risk losing coverage or paying more.
It’s time for Reps. Van Drew, Kean Jr. & Smith to #EndTheShutdown and put families first.
