“Paid leave for everyone” means caregivers, too.
We’ll all have critical moments in our lives when we need to be there for our family. Whether we’re caring for an aging parent or helping a loved one recover from a serious illness, every person in America wants and deserves to love and support family in these moments.
By coming together and sharing our real stories of providing care for our family members when they needed it the most, we can help demonstrate the need for paid leave policy to include caregiving so we can put family first without risking our livelihoods.
Will you take a moment and share your story? Some things to think about:
Why was providing care for your loved one important to you?
Is there a situation where you needed to provide caregiving for a loved one? What was that experience like? How were you able to juggle caregiving responsibilities with work or other responsibilities? How did having, (or not having), a paid leave policy for caregiving impact you?
Please share your story and together let’s win this!
