Family Values @ Work

ICYMI - All of us at Family Values @ Work and our network members are thrilled to see the start of Maine's paid family and medical leave program. 🙏🏽 Maine Women's Lobby and Southern Maine Workers' Center mainemorningstar.com/briefs/maine-w…

Construction and trade jobs often pay more than jobs in female-dominated fields—and typically involve earn-as-you-learn apprenticeships But what happens when you stop proactively recruiting women and people of color to important programs? #NAW2026 #TWTF share.equalrights.org/s/J1iao0r9

Outrageous. Unconscionable. nwlc.org/press-release/… A few words fro our network partner, National Women's Law Center 😑

This just in: Our first grants of the year are on their way to our amazing network--and we can't wait to see what our grantees do this year to change America's care landscape for the better. Thanks to our generous funders and donors, the Family Values @ Work network is continuing to win care policies cities, counties, and states across America! familyvaluesatwork.org/family-values-…

That time the legend #DoloresHuerta joined the @fmlyvalueswork conversation about #paidleave. 🥰 As we celebrate her 96th birthday, we’re honoring her powerful reminder that the wealth of this nation comes from workers and her call for paid family leave for all. Happy Birthday!

😒 "...This plan for America’s families recommends programs like marriage boot camps and“community rest” laws, not policies that have been empirically shown to encourage family growth and stability—such as the expansion of paid parental leave and flexible work schedules." bit.ly/4mfQAPD

Great to see our friend Dave Bolotsky, founder of @UncommonGoods, continuing to champion equitable paid leave for all in New York through this powerful op-ed. Paid leave supports workers, strengthens businesses, and builds healthier communities. #Care amny.com/opinion/new-yo…

The real “state of the union” isn’t the stock or crypto markets — it’s the state of care. If families can’t afford child care or take paid leave, our economy isn’t working. Care policy is economic policy. Read more 👇 #SOTU #stateofcare familyvaluesatwork.org/the-state-of-t…

Congratulations to Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-12) and the Mamas Caucus for championing this critical effort. We’re rooting for its success. #headstart #care michiganpublic.org/politics-gover…

We commend Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for reintroducing the Healthy Families Act, legislation that would establish paid sick time for all. oneidadispatch.com/2026/02/21/gil…

Many people work part-time so they can take care of their families. But that shouldn’t mean they get paid less than full-time workers for doing the same job! It's time for a change. Join us in supporting the #PartTimeWorker Bill of Rights. @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats.

Being a working parent is tough. It's even harder when your boss gives you last-minute notice of your shifts. Working parents deserve a consistent schedule that lets them plan their lives. It's time we demand a #FairWorkweek and #SchedulesThatWork. nwlc.org/stwa @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats

Today @SenWarren @RosaDeLauro and @janschakowsky reintroduced the #SchedulesThatWork Act and the #PartTimeWorker Bill of Rights Act to make sure workers get the fair treatment they deserve at work, with a predictable schedule and a reliable paycheck. Join the fight for a #FairWorkweek nwlc.org/stwa

Three years ago, we passed the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act into law. Since then, this landmark law has been a lifeline for countless pregnant and postpartum workers, who no longer have to choose between their jobs and staying healthy while pregnant.

“I have had insurance through the ACA for many years and would not be able to afford insurance without the subsidies." For people like Bonnie in TN, ACA enhanced premium tax credits mean the difference between coverage and no coverage. Congress must act now! #TrumpInflationCrisis

At some point in our lives, we were cared for and will have to care for others. Thank you @SenatorAndyKim for sharing your moving testimony. We must strengthen our #care infrastructure to strengthen our families and communities. #PaidLeave #Alzheimers
