@paidleaveforall.bsky.socialReposted by @dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialIt was a whirlwind of a week across PA, OH, and MI for the #TimeAndMoneyTour. We talked to communities about affordability and caregiving—how to give working families back money and time for what matters most. The bus was a hub of storytelling and mutual aid but the journey goes on. #PaidLeaveForAll

The bus also serves as a mobile aid hub… while advocates push for broader policy changes.”

What would be possible if we put more money back in the pockets of working families? What if we all had the ability to care?

@momsrising.orgReposted by @dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialWe hear an update on efforts to make paid family and medical leave a reality for all w/ Dawn Huckelbridge, Paid Leave for All, @paidleaveforall.bsky.social.
@paidleaveforall.bsky.socialReposted by @dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialA “new poll found… more than 70% of voters want state and federal leaders to make progress within the next two years on specific policies like ensuring up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave.” app.publicnewsservice.org/story/afford...?
@dhuckelbridge.bsky.social1.6 million Kentucky workers don’t have paid family leave through their jobs and even unpaid FMLA leave is inaccessible for 64% of Kentuckians, whether for illness, a dying parent, or a new baby.
@dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialI’m glad McConnell has been able to take over three months of paid medical leave. But that’s three months more than the federal government guarantees the American people—and he’s spent a career voting against it.

@dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialWe are showing that organizing wins. We are showing the power of organizing and new leadership and democracy against the biggest odds, oligarchs, dictators, the Epstein class. I don’t care how bad of a musician you are, you have a voice—and a platform that can be taken away.
@paidleaveforall.bsky.socialReposted by @dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialNEW report: Nationwide, more than 29 million employees have no paid holidays off. US law provides no paid holidays, no paid family leave—no paid time off. But there are proposals in Congress to change that. Read more at PaidLeaveForAll.org.
@dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialI don’t know anything about this film but I do think we should stop giving people like Elizabeth Holmes attention.
@gruberg.bsky.socialReposted by @dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialThey want to take child care $$ away from low-income single working moms and giving it to stay at home moms, but only if they are married. We need more supports for all caregivers but taking child care assistance away from struggling moms just to advance Vance’s social engineering goals is cruel
@dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialAlso, $9K doesn’t replace a salary.
@dhuckelbridge.bsky.socialThis will hurt the economy, families, and the child care system—and not actually create more choice for parents. We should be supporting all families, not making them compete for dollars. How about we pass paid leave, invest in care, and restore the child tax credit.
