Momentum around the country is growing to provide paid family leave insurance. Why? Because it is well past time for workplace practices to catch up to the reality of today’s families. It is about ending the tug of war workers feel when they are pulled between work and family responsibilities. And it is also about the health of our communities, and our state.

As you’ve heard, a paid family leave insurance bill just passed the New York State Assembly and Rhode Island recently became the third to enact a statewide paid leave law.  We believe that New York should be next!
