Happy to chat with w/Jon @ChristianCent about pastors and medical leave.
#pastors Have you taken paid or unpaid leave? What does that look like?

My journey from "You have #cancer." to "You have support." I was surrounding by many blessings but not legally guaranteed protections from #FMLA. Would love to hear other pastors journeys with #medicalleave

Thank you @POTUS for the American Families Plan. #paidleaveforall is critical for caregivers and care receivers of all ages. I supported this initiative by signing this letter to Congress. To add your voice in support: https://t.co/PWgAk0dEhr @familiesvalued @cpjustice
Amen. Faith leaders stand with citizens on calling for structural solutions to honoring care vocations across the life span. You can sign with us: https://t.co/PWgAk0dEhr @familiesvalued @cpjustice
"These are structural problems and we need federal solutions. Now more than ever, we need a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program and universal child care."
"With the ongoing pandemic and Main Street still on the path to recovery, paid leave is not an “extra” – it’s an essential must-have to the survival of our country’s 30 million small businesses and the health of small business owners, employees, and customers alike."
"We start with fewer resources and COVID has shown that we desperately need to strengthen the caregiving infrastructure in our country -- from paid family and medical leave to child and elder care."
Chairman @RepRichardNeal: "For far too long we’ve treated child care and caregiving as optional, rather than as basic necessities. Instead of restructuring work in a way that is sustainable for all Americans, we’ve essentially told women 'good luck fending for yourselves.'"
Chairman @RepRichardNeal: "Our failure to recognize basic caregiving obligations in the U.S. has driven millions of women out of the workforce since last March, with a majority of those being women of color. Over a year later, many have yet to return."
