Has it hit anyone else that the Family Medical Leave Act is lacking? Thank God (and Bill Clinton) for it, because prior to the 1990 we got no maternity leave or time off to care for the sick - we just lost our jobs.
I'm one American that thinks can do better. Not only for ourselves, but so our daughters do not have to face the same sucky choices when it's their turn to bear children and their responsibility to care for the sick or dying.
There have currently been 3,600 comments by MomsRising members in support of the FMLA. Please add your comments. The FMLA effects every man, woman and child in America.
If you have ever given birth or cared for a sick child, parent or spouse then you know how vital it is. If you've never done any of those things, then imagine what would happen if someone you love got a terrible illness and needed you by their side. Now face this: FMLA is the only thing between you and unemployment. FMLA is the only thing between you and desperation.
Please take two minutes and follow this link to leave a comment for the Department of Justice. I know there are more than 3,600 of us who have used or needed to use the FMLA. I know more than 3,600 of us hope it's there for us in the future.
