Rhode Island must make several improvements to the program so that all families, regardless of income, have access to a support that has helped so many Rhode Islanders weather the economic and health turbulence brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now is the time to improve Rhode Island’s paid family leave program. The data and stories over the last year could not be more clear: families need reliable, economically sufficient, and comprehensive paid leave benefits to care for loved ones during times of intense stress and change. Please sign our petition in support of S-0436 and H-5789 today. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/expand-paid-leave
