Stories like theirs are why this movement continues to grow - because parents shouldn’t have to choose between work and being there when it matters most. 💙

Like a lot of us, Aldo didn’t always listen to his mom growing up. She supported him anyway. 💙

That kind of relationship is what FAMLI is about: being there for the people who matter most, especially when life gets hard.

Paid leave exists so you can show up for yourself and your loved ones without losing your paycheck.

Note: never ask FAMLI Director Tracy Marshall to pick a favorite child.

Tracy’s kids make her feel (equally) every day by fighting to be her driving phone call after work. 🚗📞

It’s a daily reminder for Tracy, and all of us, of what paid leave is about: making time for the people you love.

FAMLI exists so you can be there when the people who matter most need you. Without losing a paycheck.
