Is paid annual leave available to workers? | UCLA World This map shows the length of paid annual leave or vacation that is guaranteed to workers.

Summers are a time for vacation.

If you are lucky to have job protected paid leave. The US is an outlier in not guaranteeing paid annual leave.

In some countries like Germany they even provide $ so everyone can take a break.

Not into swimming at All City?

Resist instead. Events at the link below.

Income inequality erodes democracy. Just look around us right now.

Raise the wage.

Tax the rich.

And this isn't just about federal representatives.

Wisconsin leaders could create a state minimum wage, which many other states have done.

Instead, they opted to limit local government's ability to create a local minimum wage.

No one gets a raise in WI!

The Republican party is not pro-worker.

Because WI Republicans have also failed to act, the minimum wage for workers in our state has lost 50% of its purchasing power.

Waste, fraud, and abuse.

Two out of 3 voters agree that releasing the Epstein files is about government transparency and accountability.

Call Senator Johnson or your Republican representative and demand the full release.

Elites should not be above the law.

The graphic reads as follows: Plug into community: Donate to mutual aid Connect with your community Protest Contact your elected officials Volunteer locally Share information on social media During hard times, it is up to us to lean on each other.

The best thing that you can do to make real change *right now* is lean into community care.

When we take care of each other and build connections, it helps push back against MAGA's agenda to keep us divided.

Here are some ways to lean into community 👇

The US is one of just a few countries in the world w/o a federal short-term paid sick leave policy. That's the red on the map.

Missouri voters deserve paid time off when they are ill.

We all deserve this.

But once again Republicans sided against everyday people and with corporations & rich CEOs.

Needless to say, no one succumbed to communism when they applied for the loan or when the loan was forgiven.

And they could have paid it back to adhere to their deep-seated convictions about economic systems...

It should be noted that roughly 1500 PPP loans were forgiven in Kerr County for a total of about $93 million in federal dollars supporting small businesses.

Facts.

When profitable corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share, children, families, and communities thrive.

🚨 The Senate has to vote on this rescissions package (H.R. 4) NEXT WEEK.

They have to pass it by July 18, otherwise it dies and Trump can't request these same cuts to foreign aid, NPR & PBS again.

No filibuster on this one.

Call your Senators and demand they VOTE NO. 5calls.org/issue/hr4-re...

Wisconsin, like the rest of the US, is experiencing a child care crisis. A lack of state and federal funds makes it really hard to find care or pay professionals.

And now? Trump is withholding 21st Century Community Learning funds. This is child care for school-age kids.

Call your deal reps.

State budget gets mixed reviews from child care advocates - WORT-FM 89.9 Some say it takes a step in the right direction, while others say it doesn’t go far enough to keep the industry afloat.

Child care is a "Wisconsin problem" not just an issue for families with kids.

A lack of state and federal dollars for child care results in a broken system where families can't afford care and ECE professionals are not paid a living wage.

Show up on Friday and lend your voice to the fight for ECE.

Lots of people have asked when the various provisions in Trump’s Big Brutal Bill go into effect, so I put together these slides using info from a @webuildprogress.bsky.social post.
