In our latest episode, Tania sits down with Dawn Huckelbridge, the Founding Director of Paid Leave for All, to discuss why fighting for paid leave in the States is a political priority. An urgent one.
Think this is just about job security? Think again. Paid leave is vital for economic growth and reproductive freedom. It’s essential for gender and racial equity. It’s crucial for our physical health and emotional well-being—and not having it is costing lives.
Dawn unpacks how the wealthiest economy in the world is failing its people by not providing paid family leave, and how we can use our power to change this.
Topics covered:
The paid leave crisis in the States Why there's an urgent need for policy change The real cost of inaction How the caregiving burden disproportionately affects women Dawn’s personal experience of motherhood The realities of raising a family in the States A question of political control How you can use your power to affect change
