Maybe these members of Congress have never given birth. Held a dying parent’s hand. Faced an injury or diagnosis and been scared it would evict them.
Covid clarified we are human and vulnerable and connected.
Paid leave is not a perk. And there is no real rebuilding without it.
During today’s

Caring for yourself and your loved ones is not a perk—it is an essential right all workers should have.

Lobbying for shorter quarantine protocols and then slashing paid sick leave is not only inhumane, it’s short sighted. Healthy workers are good for the economy. Prolonging a pandemic will have greater costs. Congress should reinstate emergency paid leave and pass it permanently.

Women lost over 5MM jobs in COVID, 1MM more than men, largely due to missing care infrastructure in our country. 90% of "hard" infrastructure jobs go to men. And investing in care would yield twice as many new jobs as investments in "hard" infrastructure, and longer-lasting ones.

When I had a baby, I was on child care waitlists for months. The first opening was nowhere near my home and more than $30K a year. I had to use every paid sick day for my leave and it wasn’t enough.
“As much as child care is talked about [...] it's not very expensive.”
On average, childcare costs are close to $12,000 a year. In some states, childcare costs more than rent each month.

Paid leave isn’t a niche issue. It’s not a nice work perk, and it’s not just about maternity leave. Every single one of us—and increasingly—is going to need to care for an aging parent, a child, a family member, ourselves, probably all of the above. It’s an economic imperative.
