Tell Maine’s Leaders: Invest in Paid Family and Medical Leave in 2022
Maine State Legislature & Gov. Janet Mills
Every single one of us has faced or will face a time when we need to take time off from work to prioritize our health, welcome a new baby, or care for our loved ones. Nobody should have to choose between using leave and keeping their job to meet their basic needs. Mainers deserve a comprehensive, easily accessible Paid Family and Medical Leave program that benefits our families, our small businesses, and our communities.
During the 2021 legislative session, the Maine Legislature established the Commission on Paid Family and Medical Leave, which is working diligently to craft a program to meet our state’s unique needs. But we need financial support from the state to get the program off the ground.
Mainers can’t wait. Our leaders in Augusta must allocate funding to establish a statewide Paid Family and Medical Leave program this session.
