Great News! #SB590 passed the California State Assembly with bipartisan support! It‘s time to make our paid family leave program more inclusive. Call your lawmakers and let them know that you support Paid Family Leave for Chosen and Extended Family. Take Action: workfamilyca.org/chosenfamily

Happy Grandparents' Day! Did you know Paid Family Leave can be used to care for your grandparents or grandchildren? Eligible workers can receive 90% of their regular wages for caregiving leave. @workfamilyca.bsky.social

We’re excited to share that #SB590 (Durazo): Paid Family Leave for Chosen and #SB578 (Smallwood-Cuevas): California Workplace Outreach Program (CWOP) both passed out of the Assembly Appropriations last Friday and now head to the Assembly Floor!

When a loved one needs care, you shouldn’t have to choose between showing up for them and keeping your income. In this #InClearTerms conversation with Dr. Thyonne Gordon, I share why paid family leave is especially critical for adults over 50—many of whom are caregiving (1/2)

CA’s Rep. David Valadao voted to take SNAP/EBT food support from 205K people in the Central Valley to give tax cuts to billionaires. If you live in Bakersfield, Hanford, Delano, or anywhere in his district, CALL to demand he #sayNO to the #BigUglyBill. tinyurl.com/VoteNoOnBUB

📢We demand Congress #SayNO to this #BigUglyBill! Don’t balance the U.S. budget on the backs of children, working families, & disabled communities! ‼️It’s time to support our children, our families, our veterans and STOP these tax cuts for billionaires. tinyurl.com/VoteNoOnBUB

⛔️The House of Representatives voted to rip food from workers & families by cutting #SNAP & #CalFresh. 🚫Instead, they want to give $$$ to ICE to kidnap people in our communities & create more inequality. Tell Congress: #SayNO to the #BigUglyBill ⬇️ www.tinyurl.com/HandsOffSNAP2025

Congress’s #BigUglyBill would stop millions of CA families from being able to afford prescriptions, care for kids with disabilities, or access safety if they’re a survivor of violence. CONGRESS, #SayNO to the bill & YES to support for kids & families! tinyurl.com/VoteNoOnBUB

🚨This Budget Reconciliation Bill could inflict real harm on Californians enrolled in safety net programs. 📣We urge our leaders in Congress to reject in the Bill and STRENGTHEN Medicaid and SNAP to support ALL children and families. #SNAPcuts #Medicaid #CalFresh #MediCal #SNAP

Today, the House voted to pass a bill that would make unprecedented cuts to #Medicaid, #Medicare, and SNAP—all to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. @kevinprindiville.bsky.social called the vote an “unconscionable” choice to abandon seniors. Our statement: to.justiceinaging.org/01WlydY
