The U.S. still doesn't have a national #PaidLeave guarantee. But one in three workers is covered by a state paid leave program. This is a generational shift in policy – and it's still gaining momentum. 19thnews.org/2026/03/paid...
"With more women in the workforce, an aging population and employees working into their later years, the ability of families to obtain income replacement through CT Paid Leave can help them to balance work and caregiving obligations," says Erin Choquette #PaidLeave www.fox61.com/article/news...

The impact would be devastating for families, especially those earning just above the Medicaid threshold (~$16K–$23K/year). Many would see premium hikes so steep that coverage would simply be out of reach.
📣30 million people could lose health insurance in the next decade if enhanced ACA premium tax credits are allowed to expire.
The American Dream has a gender gap.
Recent Morning Consult polling analyzed by TCF’s Gayle Goldin and Julie Kashen shows striking differences in how women and men are experiencing America’s affordability crisis.

The U.S. economy is losing a vital segment of its workforce as hundreds of thousands of women leave the labor force. A key reason? The widespread lack of #PaidLeave. @newsweek.com www.newsweek.com/hundreds-tho...
📣Nearly 73 million workers live in states that block local communities from making progress on paid sick days. New data from @npwf.bsky.social and @abetterbalance.org shows who bears the brunt of these unfair practices: nationalpartnership.org/psd-progress-blocked
The #OBBA would hit hardest families without college degrees and people living in rural areas who rely on SNAP and Medicaid.
Check out @danilotrisi.bsky.social's analysis below! ⬇️
The numbers don’t lie. The Senate just passed a bill that takes health care & food away from the many to pay for tax cuts for the few.
These unfair trade-offs in the Senate bill are just as bad as they were in the House bill. (And it makes our debt soar!!)

Women spend an average of nearly 🕰️300 hours each on caregiving annually, equating to more than $683 billion in unpaid care work – $4,900 for each woman in the U.S. #CareCantWait nationalpartnership.org/if-americans...
Asian women spend about an hour a day on average providing unpaid care – more than any other group. The total value of Asian women’s unpaid care is more than $53 billion annually. 💸 #CareCantWait nationalpartnership.org/if-americans...
📣Americans’ unpaid caregiving is worth more than $1.1 trillion annually – and women are doing almost two-thirds of the work. #CareCantWait nationalpartnership.org/if-americans...

NICU Baby is assisted by mother while he is in his incubator with diaper change and temperature check. Below the image is text that reads: “Colorado enacts 12-week paid leave policy for parents of NICU babies It’s the first state to offer the benefit."
The first-of-its-kind policy was supported by two state senators — Democrats Jeff Bridges and Yara Zokaie — whose children spent time in the NICU when they were born. www.instagram.com/p/DKuepeGOYYX/

Only 1 in 4 U.S. workers has access to paid family leave — and access is even lower for workers of color and low-wage earners. @NPWF honors employers setting the national standard on paid family and medical leave.
🚨 NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social The Trump admin’s DOGE cuts have already slashed at least $3B in grants supporting women’s health, safety, and economic opportunity. Women of color will be disproportionately impacted.

State governments can do a lot to make parents' lives a little easier. Check out how Colorado just expanded its #PaidLeave program so parents with a baby in the NICU don't have to rush back to work. @abetterbalance.org www.abetterbalance.org/colorado-exe...
📣1 in 3 people in the U.S. live in families participating in SNAP or Medicaid.
The House bill takes away $1 trillion+ in food & health care while handing roughly the same $$ in tax cuts to families making over $500,000.
We break down what it means for every state.

My family relied on food stamps briefly when I was a kid—our country had our back, and all 7 of us kids grew up to give back to our communities.
Investing in nutrition assistance? Investing in SNAP? That’s an investment in people, and cutting SNAP won't help anyone.
Everything she said! ⬇️
“A pro-family policy would allow families to make decisions around work that best suit them, for instance. Parents… mothers, may go in and out of the work force, or switch between full and part-time employment based on their caregiving needs and the age of their children.”

As a first-generation Filipina-American, I’ve often felt invisible—like many of my AANHPI brethren.
Invisibility is a tool of exploitation.
That’s why I created a timeline of AANHPI history—to
ensure our struggles, contributions, and resilience are seen and remembered.

Policymakers have a choice: they can cut programs and cause generational harm — or they can invest in families, strengthen communities, and build an America where everyone has economic security, dignity, and opportunity.

Today, we’re releasing new research that shows the real human cost of these cuts:
✅ 12.7M children and 2.5M seniors rely on both Medicaid and SNAP to survive.
✅ Cut food or health care — and you deepen hunger, sickness, and hardship across generations.

At the @georgetownpoverty.bsky.social we know research matters. It shows us clearly: when we invest in people — through food, income supports, health care, housing, and child care — poverty falls, families thrive, and communities grow stronger.
Yesterday, I stood on the Capitol steps with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @booker.senate.gov to say loud and clear: An America without poverty is possible — and it’s worth fighting for. This week Congress could take away programs that keep millions of families fed, housed, and healthy.
What do pending cuts to Medicaid and SNAP mean for low-income communities? @georgetownpoverty.bsky.social outlines what’s at stake for children, seniors, and rural communities.
