New blog post: Are State Paid Leave Policies Equitable? with partners at @FmlyValuesWork familyvaluesatwork.medium.com/are-state-paid…

BREAKING new data & maps in collab with @WPolicyCenter: 11 of 12 geographies with #paidleave go beyond #FMLA to ensure workers can care for more family members. 5 go further, providing more access by allowing workers to care for #chosenfamily. #WeEarnedIt bit.ly/WORLDPolicyFVA…

#PaidLeave in the states means fewer equity gaps for workers - but many continue disparities that began under FMLA. #PaidLeave must be universal–inclusive of all, affordable to all, & easy to access. @WPolicyCenter #WeEarnedIt bit.ly/WORLDPolicyFVA…
