'The time is now to make the reforms necessary to ensure a stronger safety net for workers who need time to care for themselves and their family.' Sen. Stewart-Cousins Carl E. Heastie Governor Kathy Hochul, please enact the strongest possible paid leave program for NY! centernyc.org/urban-matters-…

Did you know? New York’s paid medical leave program has not been updated since 1989. No one should be forced to choose between paying rent, and recovering after a serious illness or injury. Join us in taking action by writing your reps! takeaction.io/abb/tell-your-…

Thank you NY Senator Jessica Ramos Michaelle C. Solages for fighting for the strongest paid family & medical leave program possible for New Yorkers in the budget. We are grateful for your leadership in promoting the health and economic security of workers and their loved ones.

For decades, New Yorkers who need to take time off for their own health needs have been expected to survive on a paltry $170/week, without job-protection or the ability to take leave intermittently. Join us in taking action by writing your reps! takeaction.io/abb/tell-your-…

New Yorkers need stronger #PaidLeave now! Workers are speaking out and sharing their experiences to call on NY leaders to prioritize the strongest possible protections in the budget, particularly for individuals who need time off for illness or injury: abetterbalance.org/workers-voices…

Under New York's emaciated paid medical leave program, workers 'are forced to forgo much-needed medical treatment and recovery because it is simply impossible to pay rent, bills and groceries.' Unacceptable! @TimesUnion timesunion.com/opinion/articl…
