Supporting women at work means being there when they need to step away. Only 44% of women say their employer accommodates their health needs. Companies that strengthen leave policies will see an immediate boost in loyalty and productivity. #PaidLeave https://bit.ly/3LE0gVZ
Women may pay a higher price for taking leave, research indicates

Childcare is an essential service for families and a cornerstone of childhood development. What happened today in Chicago is criminal. Our communities deserve leaders who prioritize and value our childcare providers and don't abandon them to harm.
Getting new details on this now:
As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.
The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.
