Guided by the Jewish value of kavod habriyot, respect and dignity for all human beings, NCJW is committed to striving for a future where all women, children, and families have what they need to thrive. No one should be forced to choose between caring for themselves or their families and receiving their paycheck. Yet millions of workers across the country are forced to make this choice daily without paid family and medical leave. 

The Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act would create the first-ever national paid family and medical leave program for virtually all working people across the country. This essential bill would provide a critical safety net for the millions of workers who do not have access to paid leave through their employer, providing 12 weeks of job-protected paid time off for workers to care for themselves and their families. Tell Congress to pass the FAMILY Act without delay to ensure paid leave for every worker!
