Breaking: @GavinNewsom signs #SB951, making CA’s #PaidLeave program more equitable. 

This is a life-changing victory for CA’s working families! No longer will they be excluded from safely recovering from birth, bonding with a new baby, or caring for an ailing family member.

[First 5 California @First5CA]

Bonding with a baby should not be a privilege for the few. ALL families, including lower-paid working families, need time to care for loved ones. @SenMariaEDurazo, thank you for leading and pushing for equity for our families. @GavinNewsom: sign #SB951 now!

[Work & Family CA @WorkFamilyCA]

“Our state built a comprehensive paid leave program, but we still have work to do to make it work for everyone.” @RepKatiePorter breaks out her whiteboard and explains why we need to make #PaidLeave affordable to all!

Sign #SB951 @GavinNewsom.

[First 5 California @First5CA]

California was the first state to pass a #PaidFamilyLeave program but has yet to make it accessible to low-paid workers. We stand with California. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom, sign #SB951.

[Legal Aid at Work @LegalAidAtWork]

Higher-wage Californians are 4x as likely to take #paidfamilyleave even though lower-paid workers contribute more of their income to the fund. @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom, please sign #SB951! https://t.co/h41Tuy44RF

[First 5 LA @First5LA]

Thank you @RepJudyChu for your leadership on the reauthorization of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (#MIECHV) program & your support to ensure more children & families in #LACounty can benefit from this important program that improves life outcomes.

[Legal Aid at Work @LegalAidAtWork]

.@WeAreHFC is right - #PaidFamilyLeave must be accessible for ALL, not just for those with higher incomes. Reporters - join us for a press conference tomorrow, 9/23 at 10:30 am PST urging @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to sign #SB951 into law. Register here: https://t.co/Rlu5FrxQLA

[Home Visiting LA @HomeVisitingLA]

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!

[Work & Family CA @WorkFamilyCA]

🚨 @GavinNewsom has 4 days left to sign #SB951.

Studies show that #PaidLeave improves health outcomes for newborns, reduces postpartum depression, and reduces nursing home usage.

#PaidFamilyLeave should be affordable and accessible to ALL workers @CAgovernor. Sign #SB951!

[Home Visiting Coalition @hvworks]

The Jackie Walorski Maternal & Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act has passed out of Committee unanimously! Thank you to @WaysMeansCmte and @WaysandMeansGOP for your tireless work on this critical bipartisan legislation to reauthorize, expand and strengthen #MIECHV

[Home Visiting Coalition @hvworks]

Home visiting works! That's why Congress needs to reauthorize and expand #MIECHV.

[Vroom @joinvroom]

Is your LO starting a new school or daycare? Here's a #VroomTip to help: Create a goodbye ritual (ex. hug + high five + "see you later"). Prep them that when it's done, you'll leave, but you'll see them later. Routines can help kids feel safe & in control. #BackToSchool
