Friend,

In case you missed it, voters in Missouri, Alaska, and Nebraska just passed critical paid sick leave initiatives, sending a strong message that supporting workers’ health and well-being is a priority. Thanks to these new laws, workers in these states will now have the right to care for themselves and their families without the fear of lost income.

These victories add to a growing movement for workplace justice, with 18 states and Washington, D.C., now guaranteeing paid sick leave protections. This progress is especially impactful for low-wage workers and women, who often face barriers to receiving this essential benefit.

Sign our petition to applaud voters for standing up for workers’ rights and supporting families.

Let’s hold onto this victory and keep moving forward, together.

In solidarity,

Emily from The Smile
