Republicans Don’t Own #Patriotism

#Republicans claim they love #America.
But they sure don’t seem to like the #American people.
They consistently oppose reforms that a majority of Americans believe would make their lives better, like raising the #minimumwage, #paidfamilyleave, and #studentdebtrelief.
And these supposedly America-loving Republicans also seem to hate American cities, which is where 80% of Americans live.

"Poor policies around paid family leave and options for child care create challenges for many in the United States, and that hasn’t changed post-Dobbs, said Beth Jarosz, a demographer and program director with the nonprofit Population Reference Bureau who focuses on child well-being."

Via @erikgunn, #PaidFamilyLeave is out of the state budget but advocates continue to argue for it. Small business owners tell #JFCDemocrats why it would help them compete. #mainstreetweets

Pilot a program for #PaidFamilyLeave

Instead of #copCity

One of @GovEvers' budget proposals would create a new #PaidFamilyLeave program in Wisconsin. Small business owners say why they think it's a good idea.

What do Oman, Papua New Guinea, and the United States have in common?

The United States is the only Western country and one of only three countries in the world that do not provide #PaidFamilyLeave to all workers. That's right: There are 182 countries in the United Nations who offer some level of financial support to new mothers on #MaternityLeave. The three that do not: Oman, Papau New Guinea, and the United States (Rowe-Finkbeiner, 2014; Zarocostas, 2014).

Everyone needs #paidfamilyleave. Thank you Councilmember Silverman for getting it passed! Such a great legacy you’ve left for the District.

Hey congrats to JP Morgan for their brand new egalitarian paid parental leave policy. Now. In the year 2022.

Big push in the #VT statehouse today for #PaidFamilyLeave, which would be a big step and seems likely to pass.

The Rs are in a super-minority (D's majority is veto-proof if they maintain discipline), so their fall-back has been pushing to shorten it. Rep. Cynthia Browning defended her plan to reduce it to 4 week by quoting the Rolling Stones: "Remember the Rolling Stones who said you can’t always get what you want but sometimes you get what you need." 🙄
