It passed its first vote! The #DCDomesticWorkersBillofRights is one step closer to becoming law because of the women of color who advocated and organized around this bill. Stay tuned for the final vote on Dec. 20th!

Black or white, rural or city, rich or poor, left or right, all Minnesotan families deserve paid time to care for themselves and their families. Exciting to see the budget forecast for Minnesota includes funding for a robust, statewide #PaidLeaveMN policy!

Congratulations @WorkFamilyCA and allies for making California’s #PaidLeave more equitable by getting #SB951 signed into law!! One way you know #PaidLeaveWorks is that states with programs keep doubling down by expanding #PaidLeaveforAll.
T H A N K Y O U T H A N K Y O U T H A N K Y O U @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom for signing #SB1162 the Pay Transparency for Pay Equity Act! 🥳 Without a doubt, this will have a big impact on closing the gender + race #wagegap in California! #StrongerCA

California’s #PaidLeave program is falling behind. California: 60% wage replacement. Washington D.C., Colorado, Washington, Maryland: 90% Connecticut: 95% Oregon: 100% CA families deserve better. Sign #SB951 @GavinNewsom and make #PaidLeave affordable to all!
