Today the @WaysMeansCmte is holding a hearing on #paidleave, child care, and how the economy failed women. WATCH as working women from across the country give their testimony. We need #PaidLeaveForAll in the plan to #BuildBackBetter. Watch with us @ 12 pm.

The United States is the only industrialized nation with no maternity leave #PaidLeave - @RepRichardNeal

#Childcare workers care for the nation’s children while everyone is at work. Yet child care workers earn poverty wages in 40 states. Is it because it’s a “woman’s job”? It’s time to value and reward care workers like they are truly essential - fair wages and #paidleave

"Children are not the only family members who require care.. providing care may put a life on hold but it shouldn't put a paycheck on hold." - @RepLloydDoggett #FAMILYAct #PaidLeaveforAll #ChildCare

TY @RepRichard Neal for hosting the “Paid leave, child care, and an economy that failed women'' hearing on Wed, April 21st at 12 noon. Watch at familyvaluesatwork.org #paidleaveforall #FAMILYAct

Business (large and small) are able to retain employees when they offer #paidleave. A national paid family and medical leave policy will boost our economy and keep women in the workforce - supporting their families. #PaidLeaveforAll

"In order to get a return on investment you need to invest!" - Joy Spencer

#InvestInAmerica Invest in #PaidLeaveforAll Invest in #ChildCare

#paidleave and #childcare help keep our economy moving forward... these policies are not women's, Republican or Democrat issues. These are American issues. Universal child care and paid leave help keep America working - @RepDannyDavis. TY @WaysMeansCmte for this important hearing
