Witness Bethany Fauteaux: “In August of 2013 I gave birth via cesarean section to my son. In order to keep a roof over our heads, I had to return to work after only three weeks."

"These are structural problems and we need federal solutions. Now more than ever, we need a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program and universal child care."

"With the ongoing pandemic and Main Street still on the path to recovery, paid leave is not an “extra” – it’s an essential must-have to the survival of our country’s 30 million small businesses and the health of small business owners, employees, and customers alike."

"We start with fewer resources and COVID has shown that we desperately need to strengthen the caregiving infrastructure in our country -- from paid family and medical leave to child and elder care."

Chairman @RepRichardNeal: "For far too long we’ve treated child care and caregiving as optional, rather than as basic necessities. Instead of restructuring work in a way that is sustainable for all Americans, we’ve essentially told women 'good luck fending for yourselves.'"
