Statement “At tonight’s Democratic debate, we heard Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders outspokenly advocate for the expansion of paid family and medical leave in the U.S. to resounding applause.
Plain and simple, this issue is on the agenda for American voters - and no candidate can expect to get elected without having a plan to update our outdated policies so our families and businesses have the basic economic tools they need to succeed.

Statement “MomsRising members across the Washington, D.C. metro area are thrilled to see today’s introduction of the D.C. Universal Paid Leave Act of 2015. Every day, we hear from our members about the economic challenges they face because they don’t have paid family or medical leave, forcing them to lose pay to care for a newborn, personal illness, or an ailing family member. This legislation would make D.C. the first city in the nation to provide paid family and medical leave for all workers.

Statement “On the issue of paid family and medical leave – which has long been a critical one for our organization – Senator Rubio’s proposal to provide tax credits to employers that offer that leave is not the answer. It doesn’t go far enough. We need comprehensive paid family leave insurance legislation that covers all workers and is affordable. This proposal doesn’t meet those criteria.
