Working Families Party
I just found this. I thought it would be a good idea to give everyone a head's up, maybe if enough people write to their representatives this could become law.
The Working Families Time to Care Act
The Working Families Time to Care Act is a new solution that applies these long-held principles to our changing times. It allows working families to take care of each other, without risking their economic security. Here's how it works:
The Working Families Time to Care Act would expand New York's existing Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) program to also cover family needs (e.g., leave for either parent to care for newborns or newly adopted children or for seriously ill family members).
Workers would receive up to 12 weeks of benefits, funded through a modest increase in premiums paid within the existing TDI program.

Is this just a statewide thing? I would love to push for something like this here in CO but I don't think we have any state funded disability. It's all private or nothing. Like SIL gets FMLA but its ALL UNPAID.
