Long story short: tell Pennsylvania state legislators to enact real paid family/medical leave, and tell all state legislators to pressure the Biden Administration into getting investor-state dispute settlement systems out of trade deals. Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
Pennsylvania residents, take note: Moms Rising helps you tell your PA state legislators to pass the Family Care Act, which would provide at least 12 weeks of paid time off every year, so we can take care of ourselves and our families. Sound like a recipe for entitled, lazy workers? Well, this is the post-COVID era; nobody’s killing themselves at their jobs anymore after 50 years of get-rich-quick schemers running (and ruining) everything. Sound too expensive? Well, Kirsten Gillibrand’s national plan would have cost a worker making $50,000 annually a mere $8/month. Most folks’ co-pays are more than that!
Global Trade Watch helps you tell your state legislators to call on the Biden Administration to get the notorious investor-state dispute settlement (or ISDS) systems out of all “free” trade deals. ISDS systems allow investors to claim that our clean air/clean water/worker safety laws “hurt” them financially, and thus allow them to essentially nullify those laws, and there ain’t no sincere law-and-order advocate in America who’d put up with that. After all, we don’t go through all the trouble of building a civilization so wealthy whiners can tear it down.
