"As the data shows, you cannot 'virtue' your way out of a family budget crisis when child care costs more than your mortgage," writes Lelaine Bigelow. The care crisis is on all of us to solve, together. #PaidLeaveForAll www.georgetownpoverty.org/issues/the-s...
One in four of us is a family caregiver, providing more than $1 trillion in care each year. Isn't it time the U.S. invested more in supporting caregivers? #PaidLeaveForAll www.aarp.org/pri/topics/l...
The #WorkingWomensBillOfRights demands fair pay, safe workplaces, affordable #childcareforall, and #paidleaveforall for working women across the country. When women have these essential supports, we all win.

This Equal Pay Day, a reminder that a lack of #PaidLeaveForAll contributes to pay gaps and inequities — along with losses in savings, retirement, wealth, and life opportunities. These losses compound and in some way we all miss out. We should all have the freedom to care, work, and earn.
When new parents don't have #PaidLeave, they miss irreplaceable time to bond with children in the earliest weeks and months of life. It's time for Hawai'i—and the whole United States—to have #PaidLeaveForAll. www.civilbeat.org/2026/03/left...

Thank you to the Dads Caucus and chair Rep. Jimmy Gomez for the National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis today — and for making paid leave and care priorities every day. #PaidLeaveForAll
Still excited about the recent news out of Virginia! All workers deserve access to paid leave.
The research is clear - these programs improve the health and wellbeing of families AND are good for business. #PaidLeaveForAll
Image with a background of a partially visible Virginia flag. Text overlay reads: "GOOD CARE NEWS! Virginia passed paid family and medical leave! Virginia becomes the 15th state, including the District of Columbia, to pass a statewide paid family and medical leave program." Logo of Caring Across Generations is at the top.
Text over an image of the state of Virginia on a map. The text states that with the passage of HB1207/SB2, workers will have access to 12 weeks of paid leave at 80% of their average weekly wage. Starting in 2028, 91% of the private sector workforce in Virginia will have access to paid time off for self-care or to care for loved ones. This makes Virginia the first state in the South to offer paid family and medical leave statewide. The Caring Across Generations logo is at the bottom.
3.2 million workers in Virginia will be able to take care of themselves and their loved ones without worrying about risking their jobs.
This is a landmark win, but it shouldn't stop at state lines. It's time for Congress to pass federal #paidleaveforall.
🚨 Great News for workers and families! Virginia just became the 15th state to pass paid leave! Congratulations to our friends and advocates in Virginia, and thank you to the legislators and Governor @abigailspanberger.com for making paid leave a priority. #PaidLeaveForAll

Today Virginia passed paid family and medical leave—a huge, historic win.
This happened twice before and both times Youngkin vetoed it, against the will of the state. Governor @abigailspanberger.com, and legislators and advocates who wouldn't give up, will now get it done. #PaidLeaveForAll
Paid leave is a core issue of affordability, security, and dignity, it boosts bottom lines and public health, and is one of the most widely popular issues in the country. Virginia just won it for the Commonwealth. It's time Congress followed suit. #PaidLeaveForAll
The missions of my life are to elect a woman president and to pass #PaidLeaveForAll. It’s no surprise to me a woman governor and paid leave happened at once in Virginia.
Thank you, @abigailspanberger.com.
More than 3 million workers in the Commonwealth of Virginia would have paid family and medical leave if HB1207/SB2 is signed into law. Virginia is on the cusp of making history and becoming the 15th state (+DC) to offer state #PaidLeaveForAll.

Thank you for supporting the FAMILY Act, @repgregstanton.bsky.social. It is a powerful tool for families’ financial security and overall economic growth, and remains one of the most widely supported policies in the country. Now let’s pass it. #PaidLeaveForAll

3/ With rising costs (including child care) and major cuts to safety-net supports like #Medicaid and #SNAP, a federal floor for comprehensive paid family & medical leave is more critical than ever. #PaidLeaveForAll
2/ Caregiving (whether paid or not!!!) is the backbone of our economy. It’s the work that makes ALL other work possible. Policies that value caregivers strengthen families, workplaces, and communities.
#CareCantWait #PaidLeaveForAll
Paid leave reduces pay gaps, retirement gaps, savings and wealth gaps. It offers all working people the ability to work and care with more freedom, security, and dignity. #PaidLeaveForAll
Paid leave does not hurt business. A federal paid leave program would reduce turnover and training costs. It would help employers and level the playing field for small businesses. It would increase performance and productivity. There is a proven, positive return on the investment. #PaidLeaveForAll
“Research suggests that fathers who take paternity leave have higher levels of life satisfaction, better health, better marriages and better relationships to their children.” Paid leave benefits whole families and communities. #PaidLeaveForAll

Some issues unite the Democratic caucus—and voters across party. “There are some areas where the New Democrats’ road map intersects with progressive goals. The New Democrats are endorsing the creation of a universal paid family and medical leave program” #PaidLeaveForAll www.cnbc.com/2026/02/11/e...
The Family and Medical Leave Act became law 33 years ago today. It’s been a lifeline to millions, but Congress must secure #PaidLeaveForAll. Paid leave is good for Main Street, it’s good for families, and it’s good for our future.
99% of employers report positive outcomes. The cruelty is in knowing this works—and still denying it. #fmla33 #paidleave #paidleaveforall
33 years ago today Clinton signed the FMLA. It has been used an estimated 566 million times (@npwf.bsky.social).
But it was meant to be a first step. There are policies to expand it and make #PaidLeaveForAll a reality in America. Cheers to those who started and stay in the fight.
Cool fact, workers have used #FMLA 566 MILLION times to keep their jobs while caring for their health and family members – but time off isn't always paid. As we mark the anniversary of the FMLA, it's time to talk next steps: #PaidLeaveForAll nationalpartnership.org/report/fmla-...

ALL working people deserve paid leave.” At the bottom right is an image of a family of women with brown skin, wearing turquoise-colored dresses. At the bottom left is the National Partnership for Women & Families logo.
It’s been 33 years since the #FMLA made history and changed workplaces for women and families. We need Congress, business leaders and advocates to make history again & win #PaidLeaveForAll
