“We know paid leave works. What are we waiting for?” asks @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social. Let's make paid family and medical leave a reality for all! @delauro.house.gov

A new report found that while many cities have passed #PaidSickDays laws, a number of states are actively blocking local governments from doing so. This preemption hurts workers and families. #PaidLeaveForAll #WorkersRights

The rising costs of Trump’s America are making parenting harder than it needs to be. New Mexico is showing what it really means to put families first. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Too many families are still forced to choose between a paycheck and caring for the people they love. Our colleague, Sammy, knows this all too well because in the span of just 6 months, two of her family members got separate severe health diagnoses.

To our trans community: We know it’s been a long year, and that the news cycle and hateful attacks can take a toll. We feel it too. You are not alone. You are loved, you are seen, and we will never stop showing up for you.

Thank you @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @senwyden.bsky.social @delauro.house.gov @kim.senate.gov @neal.house.gov @underwood.house.gov @mcbride.house.gov & everyone who cosponsors the FAMILY Act and fights for paid leave. We’re #ForFAMILY. We’re for #PaidLeaveForAll.

Happening now! @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @delauro.house.gov are reintroducing the FAMILY Act, important legislation that creates a pathway for all workers in America to have access to paid leave.

Thank you @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @delauro.house.gov for the reintroduction of the FAMILY Act. We are stronger as a nation when we claim our right to care. This policy will put an end to the many impossible choices people are faced with everyday. THANK YOU for investing in families. 💙

"The National Partnership cares about this issue for a variety of reasons but we care about it because we care, in particular, about women. Women are often the ones making due for our policy failures...We have an economy that's built on their backs." @npwf.bsky.social

"This legislation is not just good policy, it's personal." @mcbride.house.gov. The FAMILY Act will cover paid leave for all reasons: personal, parental, caregiving, select military related needs, and safe time for domestic violence and stalking.

Happening now! Rep. Rosa DeLauro and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand are reintroducing the FAMILY Act, important legislation that creates a pathway for all workers in America to have access to paid leave.

National Voter Registration Day! Since its founding in 2012, this day has helped over 5 million people register to vote. But millions still go unregistered, and many don’t realize their status needs updating after a move, name change, or other administrative error.

This is caregiving: "Wherever you go, whatever you do, always take your own sunshine." #Alzheimers #dementia #caregiving #happiness #quote

In 2025, 63 million American adults provided ongoing care to a loved one with a medical condition or disability. Yet one in five caregivers report their own health as fair or poor, and nearly a quarter say they struggle to care for themselves while caring for others.

In 2025, hundreds of thousands of working people are still forced to leave their jobs due to the lack of quality, affordable childcare. Our families and economy need a childcare system that strengthens the nation’s care infrastructure. Applauding New Mexico for making this important move.

Black Women’s Equal Pay Day marks how far into the year Black women must work to catch up to what white, non-Hispanic men made last year. In 2024, it fell on July 9. This year, it’s July 10. The gap is real—and persistent. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay #PayEquity www.equalpaytoday.org/black-womens...

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPayDay. Black women form the backbone of our economy, and it's imperative that they're fully supported and fairly compensated at work, not punished or pushed out of the workforce for having basic human needs. 19thnews.org/2025/07/blac...

“Paid family leave and paid sick days and affordable child care do not exist at the federal level, and now with efforts to cut Medicaid, SNAP and other safety nets, it's clear that those in power do not value families...” @njcitizenaction.bsky.social @fairshareamerica.bsky.social

New @americanprogress.bsky.social data: half of LGBTQI+ people have called on chosen family for care, along with a third of non-LGBTQI+ people. We need #PaidLeaveForAll that includes all families. More from @mollyww.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/lgbt...

Trans men face wage disparities, earning only about 70 cents for every dollar earned by the typical U.S. worker. It's time to advocate for change for everyone! #EqualPay #PrideInYourPay #LGBTQIAEqualPay

Our fight for equal pay is inclusive. We recognize that transgender, gender non-conforming, LGBTQIA+ BIPOC individuals, women, and immigrants often face even wider wage gaps. #PaidLeave is just one part of the comprehensive solutions we’re advocating for. #PrideInYourPay #LGBTQIAEqualPay

LGBTQIA+ women earn about 87 cents for every dollar the typical worker earns. Wage equity means more than just a paycheck—it also means fair access to benefits like #PaidLeave and workplaces where everyone is safe, seen, and supported.

New on #LGBTQIAEqualPay Awareness Day: LGBTQI+ households make 85 cents on the 💲of non-LGBTQI+ households—that’s $12,600 in annual lost wages. We must defend our civil rights enforcement agencies to stop discrimination so everyone has #PrideInYourPay. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

We are deeply saddened and distressed by the tragic assassination of Minnesota State Representative @melissahortman.bsky.social and her husband Mark, and the related attempted assassination of State Senator @thedrummingsenator.bsky.social and his wife Yvette. Our hearts are with all affected.

What does it take to support LGBTQ+ families today? Join @rwjf.bsky.social for a live conversation on Monday, June 16 at 1:30 PM ET to explore what queer families need to thrive in this moment of uncertainty and possibility.

It is so important to see this type of compassion centered in our policy. 🩷 "The last thing parents navigating newborns’ health complications should have to worry about is rushing back to work to maintain their economic security."

Time to care shows up in so many ways! We are happy to share some recent wins for working families across different states.

Today is the Women’s Bureau’s 105th anniversary, and what did DOL Secretary Chavez DeRemer get for WB? Zero. Literally. Her FY26 budget eliminates it. I talked to @motherjones.com‬’s @juliannemcshane.bsky.social‬ about how GOP attacks on WB hurt women 🧵 #SaveWB www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
