Count on Mothers’ Post

The proof for passing “paid leave” for moms & dads who work outside the home, is more than evident in the PDF within this shared article. Take a look, move to stand with those pushing legislation through for Family Paid Leave — it is the only way to bring all states into compliance.

Coming off the heels of celebrating great progress during #womenshistorymonth, there’s still so much to be done to bring into modern times the laws and employee benefits needed to effectively support working mothers and families. Today there are still only 13 states with mandatory paid family leave policies. While many employers are offering this benefit when not required, this should not be the standard in 2024 when we pride ourselves as a country on #genderequality and closing the talent gap in #diversity and #equity initiatives. Excited to continue bringing this perspective to our #Texas senate and house representatives until this major gap is closed. https://lnkd.in/geGNmAxB

31 years after FMLA's implementation, lack of paid leave remains a major barrier to essential health care. Shockingly, 44% of workers delay crucial care due to a lack of PAID leave, risking their health and lives. Paid leave isn’t just a benefit; it’s a necessity. A push for #PaidLeaveForALL ensure no one has to choose between their job and their health. You can make your voice heard on the matter at the link below. https://lnkd.in/eEP5pm5M

Paid leave - and other family policies - must be inclusive of ALL families; and that means a paradigm shift on the definition of "work." If care is work when a child care provider does it, then it's work when a parent does it. Paid or unpaid, care is work. Paid leave programs that are embedded in paid employment fail to cover many parents, including entrepreneurs, students, employees of small businesses, parents whose "work" is caring for their older child(ren), graduate students who are not technically employees, and more. There ARE proposals for inclusive policies - see Matt Bruenig's Family Fun Pack: https://lnkd.in/ghUfY7bd

Excerpt from: Paid Leave Means a Stronger Nation The #UnitedStates' #paidleave crisis is especially acute in light of the overturning of #RoevWade in June 2022. States that have taken the lead on providing paid leave are also among the most protective of #abortionrights, while no state that has banned or is likely to ban #abortion provides paid leave to all workers.

What if you have two seniors on disability income both w Rare Disease and one whose had two cancers. Families who care give need more practical needs help like car repairs, funds to allow someone to clean and some respite time to pay someone or a retreat time to take a break from the stress of care giving too. We need to look at practical needs help way more then we do for seniors w cancer and those aging in place as spouses who care give and are on fixed incomes too these days to ease the burden even food and gas cards would be a huge help too.
