  4. “We’ll also cut the cost of #childcare & #ElderCare, & finally, give all working people access to #PaidLeave, which will help everyone caring for #children, caring for aging #parents & that sandwich generation, which is caring for both.”

  8. Access to paid sick leave is 10 percentage points lower among full-time workers in U.S. rural vs. urban areas (68% v. 77%) -- increasing the likelihood people will work contagious or forgo health care. These inequities will likely persist if change if left to individual employers or localities. #RuralAmerica #PaidSickLeave #PaidLeave #NICHDImpact

  9. A recent study by #Oxfam America highlights how #US workers are disadvantaged by policies compared to other industrialised countries. The US lags in areas like #MinimumWage, #healthcare, #PaidLeave, and #union support.

  10. With a governing trifecta and budget surplus in #Minnesota, #Democrats and Gov. Walz have passed a laundry list of priorities mirroring similar efforts by #Biden and Dems on a national level.

    They’ve codified #abortion rights, legalized #marijuana, passed stricter #gunlaws, enacted statewide #paidleave, boosted funding for #schools, human services, the environment & housing, allocated billions for #infrastructure projects… and initiated rebates for low-income taxpayers.

  11. The #IWF, a #Koch Brothers-linked #Astroturf organization, was established in 1992 from #WomenforJudgeThomas, also likely a Koch-linked Astroturf group that backed Judge #ClarenceThomas' #SupremeCourt nomination despite #AnitaHill's #sexualharassment allegations.

    Since its founding, the group has consistently opposed measures that advance and safeguard women's rights, such as the #EqualRightsAmendment, #EqualPay, #TitleIX, #childcare, #paidleave, and other progressive policies.
