About

This is the Collective's Advocacy Guidance Brief for enacting paid leave and workplace breastfeeding policies.

Political leaders and employers can improve economic and health outcomes by expanding paid family leave. Advocating for parental leave is advocating for children to have the healthiest possible start to life and to grow up to be stronger, smarter, and more productive. Together, we can ensure all mothers and families have the support they need for optimal health and productivity.
