Currently, California school employees cannot earn any paid pregnancy leave. #AB2901 (Cecilia Aguiar-Curry) would grant school employees up to 14 weeks of pregnancy leave, excited to join so many groups calling for #PregnancyLeaveNow for CA educators! 4/4

Our Advocacy Day starts now! This year we are advocating for Paid Leave for Chosen Familiy ( #AB518 ), Early Application for PFL and DI ( #SB1090 ), Access to PFL ( #AB2123 ), Stronger Safe Leave ( #AB2499 ), and Pregnancy Leave for Educators ( #AB2901 ).

🔁 or ❤️ if you are joining us!

We are excited to share that #AB2123 (Assemblymember Diane Papan), #AB2499 (@AsmPilarSchiavo), and #AB2901 (@AsmAguiarCurry) all passed out of their committee hearings! Coalition director, Jenya Cassidy, joined our coalition partners at the state capitol yesterday! 1/4

#AB2901 would be a huge step towards closing the $100,000 gap in retirement that women earn compared to their male colleagues. Period. It's time for #PregnancyLeaveNow ! #WeAreCTA
