Care Can’t Wait: Why Pennsylvania Needs Paid Family Leave Now

Thursday, September 25, 2025
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Virtual via Zoom

No one should have to choose between a paycheck and caring for a loved one. Yet across Pennsylvania, thousands of workers, especially women, people of color, single parents, and survivors of sexual violence, are forced to make impossible decisions every day. This session will explore how the Family Care Act can create a more just Pennsylvania. 

We’re honored to be joined by leaders and advocates from across Pennsylvania who bring deep expertise and lived experience to this critical conversation:

Join us and leaders from the Women and Girls Foundation, Lily’s Hope Foundation, Philadelphia Community Action Network (CAN), Organized Voices for Action (OVA), Maternity Care Coalition, and representatives from Pennsylvania’s State Legislature.

Our panel will explore how the Family Care Act can transform the lives of working families across the Commonwealth.

Together, let’s move with purpose and build power for equity across Pennsylvania.
