Our #DCBudget deeply speaks to our city's values. We need @MurielBowser @ChmnMendelson to allocate $$ in a way that is #MeetingTheNeeds of working class Black & Brown residents. Read @FairBudgetDC recs, like funding for the #DCDomesticWorkersBillofRights!

Thank you for introducing this bill, @CMLewisGeorgeW4! We submitted comments on the initial regulations to try to fix this loophole, and we are glad that it can still be fixed legislatively.

[CM Janeese Lewis George @CMLewisGeorgeW4]

2️⃣ A second bill will let DC workers between jobs receive paid family leave benefits they already earned. Caregiving workers are ineligible for unemployment benefits but need support while caring for a new child or ill family member. This was the original intent of @DCPaidLeave.

#TimetoCareMD, as a state-run program paid into by both employees & employers, is also transferable if a worker moves jobs w/in Maryland, providing job protection & #PaidLeave on Day 1 of the new job (3/3) #FMLA30 #MDGA23 #MDPolitics #PaidLeaveForAll #TimetoCareMD

[Time to Care Coalition @TimetoCareMD]

#TimetoCareMD, on the other hand, provides #PaidLeave for nearly all employees in Maryland, regardless of their employer size. #TimetoCareMD includes full & part-time workers and private & public sector workers. (2/3) #FMLA30 #MDGA23 #MDPolitics #PaidLeaveForAll

[Time to Care Coalition @TimetoCareMD]

Today is the official 30th anniversary of #FMLA! Workers have used FMLA over 300 million times to care & heal over the past 30 years. A critical support, but only 56% of workers can access unpaid leave under FMLA (1/3) #FMLA30 #MDGA23 #MDPolitics #TimetoCareMD #PaidLeaveForAll

[Family Values @ Work @FmlyValuesWork]

Today marks 30 years of the Family and Medical Leave Act #FMLA. Please share your story if you have used or want to use leave in the future! #PaidLeaveforAll will give us all #TimeToCare where FMLA falls short; tell Congress why you need it now! #FMLAat30 #FMLA30 @ceprdc

The US is the only wealthy country in the world without a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program. People shouldn't need to win "employer lottery" to ensure they are able to care for their loved ones or themselves. Let's pass #PaidLeaveForAll right now. @IndivarD
