Paid Leave for All
@paidleaveforall.bsky.social
Paid Leave for All is the national campaign of the organizations leading the fight for paid family and medical leave for all working people. #PaidLeaveForAll
“Many women, who bear the brunt of this caregiving, have found it impossible to balance work and taking care of loved ones…an estimated 455,000 women left the workforce, often because they had to care for children and aging parents...it’s bad for the U.S. economy”

For caregivers, Thanksgiving is no break at all
A new campaign by Paid Leave for All argues for legislation that gives paid family and medical leave to all working people.

“For many of us, there is no out of office. Many of us might have the ability to take time off but it’s no vacation. It’s the invisible labor of a society that doesn’t value care or the people who provide it.” @dhuckelbridge.bsky.social @usatodayopinion.usatoday.com

What if we were honest about what keeps us from work or what pushes us out altogether? What if we told the real stories behind the auto message?

Grateful to @paidleaveforall.bsky.social for shining a light on the ways family caregivers have to squeeze caregiving duties into whatever time they have since we don’t have paid leave in the US, even if that’s an already busy holiday

Today we launch #OutOfOfficeForCare, a collective action to shine a light on the reason so many of us step away from work, the care crisis, and the 450,000 women pushed out of the workforce this year. Join us and tell us what takes you away from work?

#PaidLeaveForAll helps you come back.

The lack of paid leave and access to affordable care and long-term services, an aging population, and now the Administration’s cuts to Medicaid and immigration policies are creating a care crisis—tsunami—when they could be creating jobs and supporting families. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o...

Whether you're caring for a parent or a sibling through cancer, family caregiving can be a challenge. But it shouldn't have to threaten your finances. New @finhealthnet research shows that workers with #PaidLeave for caregiving are more financially stable. finhealthnetwork.org/research/ess...

Grateful for their work to make sure Minnesotans get the time off they deserve – whether it be for an illness, a new baby, or a family member in need.

Voters spoke loud and clear: Government needs to do more to help families pay their bills and take care of their health and loved ones.
