Thank your Congressperson for supporting aid to states for starting paid family leave programs
The FIRST Act would underwrite the start-up costs of family leave insurance programs, making it possible for cash-strapped states to get paid family leave programs underway now, when people need them most. Take a look at the list below – has your Congressperson signed on in support of the FIRST Act? If yes, take a moment to recognize those leaders who are putting families first by telling your elected official(s), in your own words, why their vote for working families earns your vote of confidence — and thank them for their support:
