Share your concern for Medicaid and our nation
We need you to take action. Ask your representative in Congress to:
- Protect and expand Medicaid, paid leave, affordable child care, nutrition programs, early childhood education.and our public schools.
- Uphold the rule of law and do your job to protect the most vulnerable among us: children, the elderly, immigrants, LGBTQ community, and the disabled.
- Make billionaires and corporations pay their fair share by letting the tax cuts (TCJA,2017) sunset.

Recognize FMLA30,
Fight for Paid Leave
Today, we recognize and celebrate the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the nation’s first leave law, enacted February 5, 1993.
It provides up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave to care for yourself or a seriously ill family member, to welcome a new child into your life or manage during some military deployments.
what we’re
fighting for
We’re fighting for the building blocks of economic mobility – paid family and medical leave (PFML), earned sick and safe days (ESSD), and childcare. We promote and advocate for fair elections and full access to the ballot – we want to vote, and we want our vote to count.
We’re organizing in a manner that centers our work with leaders who are more often, women of color, LGBTQ, parents, and caregivers.
