Welcome!

In August 1993, President Clinton signed the first major family leave policy in the United States - the Family Medical Leave Act. The new law, first introduced in 1994, ensured workers in large companies had access to unpaid leave to care for themselves or immediate family members. Today, more than 50 million Americans have benefited from the FMLA - but it still is not enough.

Only 60% of workers qualify to take FMLA, and many of the workers who do qualify - 78% - say that they didn't take the leave they needed because they couldn't afford it. Our families, our businesses, and our economy need a paid leave program that ensures no one has to choose between the treatment they need and keeping a roof over their family’s heads.

Please fill out the form below to show your support for the campaign. We look forward to working with you to engage women and men across this state in this important campaign to support workers, businesses, and families.
