1/ Passing #paidleave in #BuildBackBetter is the only pathway to putting paid family and medical leave in reach of an estimated 18.5 million people who need to care for themselves or a loved one each year.

This is Plan A. There is no Plan B that will deliver like this.

3/ Paid family & medical leave is one of the most popular policies in #BuildBackBetter.

#PaidLeave is one of couple policies supported by voters across party lines, even in this highly polarized climate. It's the only one that could touch any household.

4/ Battleground state polling just released by @PaidLeaveforAll is just as strong national polling.

Suburban women, independent women, voters undecided about 2022 all strongly and broadly want #paidleave passed now, as part of #BuildBackBetter.

5/ #Paidleave was a core 2020 campaign promise and a key part of 2016, 2018 and 2020 campaigns. It's time to finish the job: women, working families, caregivers, small businesses and voters are waiting. There is no Plan B. There is no other path soon.
