What it means to be pro-family

I'll put this bluntly, {NAME}: A country without paid leave is not pro-family. The U.S. is the only industrialized nation in the world without paid family leave, despite overwhelming bipartisan support from American voters. Our politicians in Congress need to wake up. Everyone loves their family, and whether it's taking care of an elderly parent, the birth of a new child or a sick spouse, Americans should not have to make the impossible choice between their family and their paycheck That's why I've spent the last decade pushing to make the fight to pass federal paid leave front and center in our Democratic agenda, and I won't stop until it's signed into law. But the only way progress ever comes is when we're fighting for it together, so I'm counting on 20,000 members of this team to raise their voices alongside mine today — including you, {NAME}: [I]( you agree that it's long past time for Congress to pass federal paid family and medical leave, please sign my petition today.]( [Sign the Petition]( The fact of the matter is that nearly everyone will need to take time away from work at some point to care for a new child or family member. It leaves too many people with no other option than to quit their jobs at the very moment when they need a paycheck and health insurance the most. That doesn’t just harm individual families, it burdens the entire economy. It's time to get this done for working families across our country, and I need your help to send a clear message that we won't back down — not until paid leave gets passed. [So please, sign my petition now to tell Congress to deliver for working families across our country by finally passing paid leave.]( Thank you for refusing to let up in even the toughest fights, Kirsten --------------------------------------------------------------- [Join Kirsten in the Fight to Defend the Senate.

As Democrats face our toughest Senate map in decades, I need your help more than ever. While Republicans only have to defend 10 seats in 2024, Democrats have to defend 23 – and if the GOP flips just two of them, it will deliver Senate control back to Mitch McConnell. Now, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight is saying that the GOP has a clear path to the majority. As right-wing special interests gear up to pour millions into flipping the Senate, we need to fight back right now. But I refuse to take a single cent from corporate PACs, which means I’m relying on your grassroots support. [So please, chip in to help defend our narrow Democratic Senate majority.]( And if you’d like to become a core member of my team and receive exclusive texts from my campaign, [text JOIN to 60708.]( Thank you, Kirsten Gillibrand This email was sent to {EMAIL}.
