Breaking: @GavinNewsom signs #SB951, making CA’s #PaidLeave program more equitable.  This is a life-changing victory for CA’s working families! No longer will they be excluded from safely recovering from birth, bonding with a new baby, or caring for an ailing family member. – at Sacramento, CA

Bonding with a baby should not be a privilege for the few. ALL families, including lower-paid working families, need time to care for loved ones. @SenMariaEDurazo, thank you for leading and pushing for equity for our families. @GavinNewsom: sign #SB951 now!

California was the first state to pass a #PaidFamilyLeave program but has yet to make it accessible to low-paid workers. We stand with California. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom, sign #SB951.

Higher-wage Californians are 4x as likely to take #paidfamilyleave even though lower-paid workers contribute more of their income to the fund. @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom, please sign #SB951! calbudgetcenter.org/resource…

Paid Family Leave Payments Don’t Add Up for California Workers

California's paid family leave was created to help workers balance career and caregiving commitments, but payment rates are too low for many.

To ensure that everyone can bond with a child, care for an ill family member or heal #PaidFamilyLeave must be accessible for ALL, not just for those with higher incomes. Tell Gov. @GavinNewsom to support California’s families and sign #SB951 into law: workfamilyca.org/care4all

California’s #PaidLeave program is falling behind. California: 60% wage replacement. Washington D.C., Colorado, Washington, Maryland: 90% Connecticut: 95% Oregon: 100% CA families deserve better. Sign #SB951@GavinNewsom and make #PaidLeave affordable to all!

🚨 @GavinNewsom has 4 days left to sign #SB951. Studies show that #PaidLeave improves health outcomes for newborns, reduces postpartum depression, and reduces nursing home usage. #PaidFamilyLeave should be affordable and accessible to ALL workers @CAgovernor. Sign #SB951!

Home visiting works! That's why Congress needs to reauthorize and expand #MIECHV.

Replying to @NickKristof
It’s not enough. But this plunge in child poverty should remind us that it’s not hopeless, that we have the solutions and the resources to give kids better outcomes. We just lack the political will. The child tax credit, home visiting, early childhood programs — they work.

Is your LO starting a new school or daycare? Here's a #VroomTip to help: Create a goodbye ritual (ex. hug + high five + "see you later"). Prep them that when it's done, you'll leave, but you'll see them later. Routines can help kids feel safe & in control. #BackToSchool
