Who has a stake in passing paid leave? Paid Leave for All was founded by an exec board & growing steering committee: @ABetterBalance @TheArcUS @ASBCouncil @ncbcp_bwr @CaringAcrossGen @amprog @CLASP_DC @ceprdc @popdemoc @FmlyValuesWork @mainstreetweets (wait, there's more. 1/x)

Another important impact of paid leave: a study this year found that statewide paid family leave policies led to increased breastfeeding duration and decreased postpartum depression.

One of "the most significant determinants of breastfeeding is related not to health care but to the labor market: whether or not a mother works... Paid parental leave is a lever for changing this. MAHA mothers should be all over this." https://t.co/kTNXsbEMr3

October is National Work & Family Month (who knew?) But we celebrate it every day and we're joining @ABetterBalance in asking Congress to finally making universal paid family and medical leave a federal right. Tell your reps: pass the FAMILY Act.

The data is clear: Paid Family Leave works! A new report reveals that in states with PFL programs, the number of dads taking leave to bond with a new child is nearing or surpassing the number of moms. This is how we dismantle gender norms and build true family equality.

Paid leave supports families and businesses alike. A growing chorus of corporate leaders are speaking up, from Levi's to Patagonia. #PaidLeaveForAll #FAMILYAct  https://t.co/3uxxOepTaO

This week, the Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplaces Act took effect, extending the right to paid sick time to many workers in the state! 🎉 https://t.co/nUWV0B3pWD

In 2020, the U.S. briefly had emergency #PaidSickDays and #PaidFamilyLeave for COVID-19 illness and caregiving. Guess what? It worked. New research from @equitablegrowth. https://t.co/tQe03dPobD

The U.S. care economy is valued at $1.6 trillion, with $1 trillion in unpaid care, mostly by women. A new @BrookingsInst analysis looks at Germany's leave system.  https://t.co/M70ky3Bu1i

Without paid family leave, the workforce is seeing women leave their careers to care for their families. Paid family leave would give more opportunities for women and families and strengthen the economy. https://t.co/0Rxcbud4RU

When COVID hit, Congress created the first national paid leave program in U.S. history. We show how it helped workers take leave and parents care for kids — a rare glimpse of what paid leave can provide. For more, please see https://t.co/KvsG6z1EVR

“Our findings point to a clear conclusion… paid leave benefits protected workers against the shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic… offering a blueprint for how federal policy can prepare for the next crisis and support working families in the meantime.” https://t.co/tQe03dPobD

“In states… claims for leave to care for new children are filed by nearly the same number of fathers as mothers, according to a June 2025 report by the national advocacy organization Paid Leave for All.” Read more in @Forbes. https://t.co/qy2oWejjrC

Yesterday, I joined my fellow representatives and members of the disability community to rally for the Family Care Act. Nearly four million Pennsylvanians- 66% of our workforce- lack access to paid family and medical leave. 🧵1/2

Parents know all too well that kids returning to school can mean colds and other sicknesses spreading. But did you know you may have a legal right to paid time off work to recover or care for a sick child? Check out our map of paid sick time laws: https://t.co/riYtkoWDbO

The FAMILY Act—the only bill for real paid family and medical leave in Congress—has a record 38 Senate cosponsors. But we’re not done. Be sure to ask your Senators and all your Representatives to sign on too. #PaidLeaveForAll #ForFAMILY

New national strategy from @theNASEM calls for policies that support parents with paid leave, stronger birth-hospital care standards, and community programs so that everyone who wants to breastfeed has the support to do so.

A new @EconomicPolicy report shows that prime-age labor participation rates are rising – but many parents are still left on the sidelines due to their caregiving needs. Affordable childcare and paid leave can help us build the economy of tomorrow. https://t.co/bXkZlyNmov

Proud to join Rep @rosadelauro & @SenGillibrand to reintroduce the FAMILY Act to finally give new parents and caregivers time off without sacrificing their livelihood. It's well past time for #PaidLeaveForAll.

Nobody should have to lose their job or paycheck when they need time off for illness. But new data from @BLS shows nearly 6 in 10 workers don't have paid medical leave at their jobs. The #FAMILYAct would guarantee #PaidLeaveForAll workers across the U.S. https://t.co/qIUlWaBbd5

Compassionate employer policies are a boon for many working parents, but guaranteeing strong legal rights to protections like paid leave and flexibility can bolster our economy, help businesses retain talent, AND help families thrive.
