Paid Leave for All Action is the advocacy arm of the @PaidLeaveforAll campaign to finally win federal paid family and medical leave in the United States.
“The ‘Care Can’t Wait’ campaign is focused on resurrecting parts of Biden's ‘Build Back Better’ program, including universal child care and guaranteed paid family and medical leave”
And now we launch a powerful political arm. https://t.co/lfGPj0PKY5
Paid Leave for All is proud to be a part of #CareCantWait since the beginning, and now our powerful political arm. Care—the ability to work and care for your own, to keep a paycheck and afford a family—is an urgent priority for voters and we plan to get it done.
@dhuckelbridge#PaidLeaveforAll: “What we have found, as we expected, is that paid leave is politically powerful. It remains a politically salient issue that uniquely motivates progressive base voters and key persuadable groups” #CareLovePower https://t.co/WugB9EwEME
Powerful op-ed by Leah Jones of @SisterSong_WOC on "expanding my vision of reproductive justice to include the fight for federal paid family and medical leave programs." Thank you, and to all of our partners in this piece and in the fight.

Now it the moment to expand paid leave.
And we have momentum on both sides of the aisle to do it.
Proud to launch a bipartisan working group w/ @RepBice and others to find durable and pragmatic solutions to uplift American women, families, and businesses.https://t.co/mLUyP4eEds
When working parents can't take time off to care for themselves or a sick loved one, that's not just morally wrong—it's bad for businesses, too. Working families need paid leave, and I'll keep fighting to get it done.
New piece by @Rainesford@TeenVogue. "We should be asking every elected official.. where they stand on paid leave and what they’re doing.. to 'ensure everyone has access to it, no matter where they live, where they work, or whom they love.'" @dhuckelbridge https://t.co/MLxcCJTzKT
“Paid Leave for All found an uptick of 1,700% in paid leave mentions on social media the month prior.
‘So much of the consultant class and the pundits still don’t see these as economic imperatives,’ @dhuckelbridge. ‘It’s clear the voters actually do.’”

.@eleanor_mueller on what drove women to the polls:
“94% of women in suburban battlegrounds support paid family & medical leave…when Republican candidates oppose both abortion and paid leave, give their opponent a 56-point edge with suburban women.”

“Having been out on the campaign trail intensely, women in particular knew… it had to do with reproductive care and to do with the economic policies that impact them… and that included childcare and paid leave” @PattyMurray https://t.co/w5Fv00zfuP
“Democrat @HoulahanForPa won an extremely tight race in the swing state of PA with a campaign that zeroed in on paid leave and child care.” https://t.co/w5Fv00yHFh
We’re pulling fascinating data about this cycle. Here’s one nugget:
The coverage & conversation on #PaidLeave has been growing steadily. In the month before the election there was a 600% uptick for paid leave in news media. BUT—among real people and voters, it went up 1700%. (1)
