- My son knocked doors with a group today outside Scranton. An older conservative-seeming man listened to the pitch, looked around his neighbors’ homes, asked if anyone could see him. Quietly then he said, “I’m voting for Kamala.” The phenomenon—and the skew—isn’t only about women.
- “Substance matters…” Congratulations to Woman of Vision Meghan Markle tonight, and our profound thanks for her and Archewell’s support of @PaidLeaveforall. #MWOV2023
- Maybe these members of Congress have never given birth. Held a dying parent’s hand. Faced an injury or diagnosis and been scared it would evict them. Covid clarified we are human and vulnerable and connected. Paid leave is not a perk. And there is no real rebuilding without it.During today’s @OversightDems hearing, one of my Republican colleagues referred to paid family and medical leave as an “enhanced work perk.” Caring for yourself and your loved ones is not a perk—it is an essential right all workers should have. We need #PaidLeaveforAll.
- Lobbying for shorter quarantine protocols and then slashing paid sick leave is not only inhumane, it’s short sighted. Healthy workers are good for the economy. Prolonging a pandemic will have greater costs. Congress should reinstate emergency paid leave and pass it permanently.
- We are grateful to Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their support of @PaidLeaveForAll. It demonstrates a profound commitment to the impact a national policy would make in all of our communities.
- America doesn't care about a Stanford professor who took a polygraph and wrote her congresswoman, senator, and the Post before the nomination was announced. Think of what happens to every woman who dares to speak. I stand with Christine Blasey Ford because I stand with all women
- Welcome back from #PaidLeave, @SecretaryPete! Those first months are rough, I know. Especially for the 1 in 4 women who go back to work within 2 weeks. Let’s get to work making sure the 4 in 5 workers without access to paid family leave in America can get it.Joining us now: Secretary of Transportation, @SecretaryPete
- I'm thinking of all the activists today. Thinking of the women, caregivers, workers, who couldn't make it work. Who didn't get diagnosed or treated. Who couldn't be there with a new baby or dying parent. Who chose between life and livelihood. Who lost so much. Paid leave for all.
- Grateful to strong women—and fellow @NorthwesternU grads—using their platforms to make a tremendous difference when the stakes couldn’t be higher.Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex believes it’s time for #PaidLeaveforAll. In a powerful letter to Congress, she’s standing up for millions of American families who need and deserve guaranteed paid leave. Read and share her letter: paidleaveforall.org/theduchessofsu…
- .@PaidLeaveforAll is honored to have the support of Archewell Foundation, Prince Harry, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex—and thrilled to see them continue to grow their support of gender and justice work this Women’s History Month.Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Continue to Prove They’re Feminists hbaz.co/Hcg0y1b
- Don’t miss the latest #Archetypes episode talking paid leave with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. Thank you to Meghan Markle for your support of the @PaidLeaveforAll campaign and belief in this movement.
- .@RepSwalwell was one of the first men I saw talking openly and honestly about the realities of giving birth in this country, and that matters tremendously. Thank you.
