One in four women living in the US returns to work within two weeks of giving birth. At two weeks I was still taking medication for the pain I was in due to my unplanned c-section and being closely monitored because of the amount of blood I lost during the procedure. I wasn’t allowed to do anything besides lift my baby when necessary. It took me 2.5 months to be cleared by my doctor. So to know that parents are going back to work in this fragile state is just devastating.
84% of all Americans support federal paid leave, and yet 73% of private sector employees don’t have it. This is why I’m proud to partner with bobbie to help put money in the pockets of families who need it: $580, to be exact—the minimum monthly benefit under the Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act, if passed.
All you have to do is tell us your leave story and what $580 would mean to you. Link in our bio to apply. This is no way sponsored by Instagram. Applications are open until January 26, 2024.
