In partnership w/ @CELA_Lawyers @LegalAidAtWork we are proud to cosponsor #AB518 & #AB524 introduced by @BuffyWicks which will ensure that millions of #FamilyCaregivers are protected against discrimination & workers can afford to take leave to care for #ChosenFamily!

Family Caregiver Anti-Discrimination Act (#AB524) will prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on their status as a #FamilyCaregiver.
Basically, your work cannot fire, demote, refuse to hire you because of your family responsibilities.

#PFL for Chosen Family (#AB518) will ensure workers who care for #ChosenFamily can access #PaidFamilyLeave. This is esp important bc the program's outdated definition of family does not reflect today’s workforce. You can be there for your bestie AND receive wage replacement!
Like @AsmBuffyWicks said in the #PressRelease, #AB518 and #AB524 are important next steps to protect #FamilyCaregivers #ChosenFamily!
