Proud to share my sister's story - Medicaid changed her life and ability to show up for herself, her daughter, and her career. @NPWF #medicaidmatters
Our next #MedicaidMatters story is from our Director of Corporate Social Impact, Jesse Matton, about her sister TJ's experience with Medicaid as a full time, employed social worker. npwf.info/4k0C2Bu
ALT a cream graphic with an opaque flower in the background with a photo of an older white woman wearing a hoodie and a brimmed hat behind a dirty blonde toddler, looking through a telescope on a playground is at the top center. Above the photo white text in a magenta bubble reads "TJ's Story". Below the photo, black text reads: “Medicaid health coverage allowed my sister to learn and adjust to motherhood and launch herself into a more stable, caring and engaged parent and community member. She is now a successful trauma-therapist and play and joy educator where she teaches adults the neuroscience of play and play as a social resistance practice. None of this would have been possible if she did not have access to compassionate providers and comprehensive health coverage through Medicaid." Below the text is the National Partnership for Women and Families logo.

Reinforcement: 81% of Americans support a 12-week paid family and medical leave policy. New polling from @NavigatorSurvey highlights the bipartisan support for family-oriented policies like providing food for low income, paid leave, and universal pre-k. shorturl.at/daB4T

.@LeviStraussCo's leadership on #paidleave never ceases to amaze me. Their continued investment underscores the value of these policies. In fact, their family care policies (globally!) cost 36% of what they projected. Learn more here (@JustCapital): justcapital.com/news/levi-st…

Abortion bans being pushed by MAGA Republicans don't affect all women equally — here's why Black women are the most in danger

Great piece from @CharlesMBlow. It also scares the sh*t out of me.
"Where he and I are from, even would-be oppressors can be affable. It’s not just good manners; it’s the Christian way, the proper Southern way. And it is the ultimate deception."

“Paid leave policies make businesses stronger...For us, it’s been a relatively small investment with a very meaningful return.” - Tracy Layney, Executive Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer, Levi Strauss & Co. @LeviStraussCo
Ahead of tomorrow's @SenFinance, let's remember that #PaidLeave isn't just good for employees-- it's good for business. States have enacted #PaidLeave programs that help manage employees’ leave needs & level the playing field for employers of all sizes npwf.info/491xcz2

Great @business piece covering @NPWF's newest report.

.@axios exclusive covers @npwf's #ThreatsOnAllFronts research on how states with abortion restrictions are failing to support pregnant people and the links between the lack of abortion access, health care and workplace equity. axios.com/2022/08/25/abortio…
"It’s no coincidence that states with the most restrictive abortion laws also are likely to have the weakest democratic systems." More from the @lgbtmap on How Compromised State Democracies Allow Extreme Policy Positions democracymaps.medium.com/abo…

Struck by this video that @ElliotKotek shared. "When information becomes abundant - human attention becomes a scarce resource." Herbert Simon
Also struck by how hard I had to work to pay attention to an actually interesting 4 minute video...

Why hasn't #PWFA passed? We have seen bi-partisan support from the start and deep engagement w/ biz that's helped get it to where it is, but full court press is needed to get Senate passage. fastcompany.com/90771614/why…
