Dear Representative:
Paid Family and Medical Leave is a win-win-win for Pennsylvania businesses, families, and children. With strong bi-partisan support, the Family Care Act provides an opportunity for us to finally push this essential support for working people over the finish line in PA.
As your constituent, I urge you to add your support for the Family Care Act: Putting Pennsylvania Families and Small Businesses First. This bi-partisan bill is sponsored by Representatives Dan Miller, Jenna O’Mara, Lindsay Powell, KC Tomlinson, Natalie Mihalek, and Marla Brown. Please use this link to see the co-sponsor memo.
The Family Care Act recognizes things we already know to be true: family takes care of family and people need the flexibility to focus on their health and keep a job. By establishing a paid family medical leave program in Pennsylvania, the Family Care Act will allow:
- Family members to provide critical care for elderly or disabled loved ones
- Parents to be there for their children following birth/adoption/foster placement or care for their child during a serious illness or accident
- Small businesses to give their employees crucial paid leave when they are not able to provide paid time off
- Victims of violence to take time off when fleeing abuse without fearing for their jobs and livelihoods
Sincerely,
