Saving Paid Family Leave

A lot has transpired in the past week. As Biden presents his Build Back Better Bill to Congress, there have been a lot of negotiations about what can remain in the bill and what should be removed. As of 72 hours ago (just after we recorded this episode), Paid Family Leave was removed from the bill.
BUT!!!!
This isn’t over.
Here’s how YOU can step in, take control, and get this back in the bill:
1. Email Congress! Enter your information - based on your zip code, it will automatically send a letter regarding your support for paid leave directly to your state representative. It takes less than 2 minutes.
2. Share your maternity leave stories. The nitty gritty - the stuff that will make these Senators squirm. Time to gross out some old men (43 to be exact, with an average age of 64) and make them feel super uncomfortable while reminding the 8 women who clearly forgot... Tag us and/or @paidleaveus
3. Tag #savepaidleave on social media so Washington understands how important this is to each and every person out there.
4. Join the Rally in Washington, DC with Senator Gillibrand this Tuesday, November 2. More info here.
