FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington, DC — Paid Leave for All, the national campaign fighting for paid family and
medical leave for all working people, released the following statement in response to news that
President Biden will highlight the care agenda, including paid leave, during his State of the
Union address tomorrow:
“Paid Leave for All is thrilled that President Biden will advocate for investments in our care
infrastructure, including reaffirming his commitment to paid leave, during his State of the Union
address tomorrow. The Administration knows that a national paid leave policy and a care
infrastructure will yield millions of jobs, billions in wages, and trillions in GDP, and will help every
working family in this country. This is why paid leave was included in the President’s Build Back
Better framework, and passed the House of Representatives last year. With a broad, diverse,
and powerful campaign of advocates, including our Caregiver in Chief, we will continue fighting
for paid leave for all and we will not stop until it becomes the law of the land.”
