Podcasts about paid family leave

Head Start is a federally funded early learning operation that serves about 750,000 children every year at approximately 1,600 programs across the country. In the past month, the Trump administration has laid off several Head Start staff, and a leaked draft of an early budget request had the program slated for elimination. (A public budget document last week did not mention cuts or increases to Head Start).Sacha Klein, a professor and researcher at Michigan State University's School of Social Work, joined the podcast to talk about the nexus between Head Start and the social safety net, including her research on its connection to child welfare. We also chat with the hosts of Young and Autonomous, the newest podcast on SafeCamp Audio. This is a four-episode podcast by young parents with lived experience in foster care where hosts engage in meaningful conversations with peers, sex educators, and researchers about sexual and reproductive health information, rights, services, and resources.Sacha Klein is an associate professor at the Michigan State University School of Social Work. She is an expert on child welfare, child maltreatment prevention, and the effects of early care and education on parenting.Reading RoomTrump Plan to Dismantle Head Start Is Illegal, Lawsuit Argueshttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/us/politics/trump-head-start-lawsuit-aclu.htmlI was a low-income student who attended Head Start.

Rep Dave Baker Republican from Willmar tells Adam why he wants to rethink paid family leave.

Paul and Wally share the latest from the Roundhouse. Paid Family Leave is revised and heading for the House floor. HB 417 a revised alcohol tax of 6% has passed through the House Tax Committee on partisan lines.  Free speech is under attack in Santa Fe: https://errorsofenchantment.com/new-mexico-s-b-85-a-legally-dubious-speech-chilling-proposal/ In a bit of good news SB 4 (net zero) was tabled in the Senate Finance Committee.  RGF's president had an article in National Review about the disaster that would be Deb Haaland as Gov. of New Mexico. Former Las Cruces Mayor may run for Gov. He says he's "do things 90% differently than MLG." Will changes to New Mexico voting law impact this race? Paul and Wally discuss.  Despite numerous dire challenges facing New Mexico the Legislature has no solutions besides shoveling money into various "permanent funds." New Mexico now has $61 billion under SIC control. Another fabulous Trever cartoon highlights (just some) of the good bills that get no love from the hyper "progressives" in Santa Fe. Sadly, plenty of bad bills ARE moving quickly.

In this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine and Jordan discuss the challenges faced by small businesses in New Mexico with State Representative Mark Duncan. They explore the impact of COVID-19 on small businesses, the implications of the Paid Family Leave Act, and the burden of payroll taxes. Duncan emphasizes the need for small businesses to unite through trade organizations to amplify their voices against legislation that may harm them. The conversation highlights the disparity between large corporations and small businesses, particularly in terms of resources and legislative support.

I testified yesterday on a bill that would eliminate New Mexico's income tax. Here's what I said and here's what happened. Speaking of zero income tax states, IN & OUT burger chain moves to Tennessee from California.  PFML will finally be considered in its 2nd committee on Wednesday. Paul and Wally discuss what that means.  NM Democrats seem to have settled on a plan to raise alcohol taxes. SB 139 which would have eliminated MLG's EV mandate was defeated in its first committee on partisan lines. A "study" claims UNM athletics creates a big economic benefit for New Mexico. We appreciate collegiate sports but take the study with a big grain of salt. How's the NM "Portfolio" doing? We have an update. New Mexicans spend 6th most on groceries as a percent of income according to a new report.

It's been a week since the Legislature began. Paul has been to Santa Fe twice and discusses what is happening.  SB4 (net zero) is one of the craziest bills that will be moving this week. MLG gave her State of the State address. We have some thoughts. The Santa Fe New Mexican did a fact check of the address. RGF is part of a coalition working to defeat Paid Family Leave. Find out more here. Paul had an opinion piece in several media outlets on alcohol taxes and why raising them is unnecessary.  New Mexico has the lowest median pay in America: DC workers now make nearly two and a half times as much as the average New Mexico resident. ABQ bus ridership continues to slowly rebound post-COVID. Mayor Keller's latest scheme in downtown Albuquerque is particularly dumb. The WNMU situation keeps getting worse.

What do pregnant patients and their loved ones who live in states with abortion restrictions or bans need to know to prepare in case of an emergency? A state Senate bill aims to address concerns over large water transfers like those planned to serve the controversial LEAP industrial district in Lebanon. Over 2.5 million Hoosiers lack access to paid family medical leave – some lawmakers are advocating to change that this session. Governor Mike Braun unveiled a state budget proposal Thursday that provides nearly 700 million dollars in tax relief. Want to go deeper on the stories you hear on WFYI News Now?

The United States is one of the only countries in the world that doesn't guarantee paid parental leave. We point out this fact a lot, but what does it really mean when a family doesn't have the ability to take time off when a baby is born?It means a lot of things. It means moms going back to work while still recovering from childbirth, it means parents struggling to figure out child care for their baby, and it often means babies going to group child care settings, which may be wonderful but do expose them to germs —  germs that are more dangerous when babies are small than when they're bigger. We can talk about these different challenges and why they might matter for kids' and families' outcomes, but to figure out how much they matter and in what ways...that's what research is for.Today on ParentData, we're joined by Dr. Katherine Ahrens and Dr. Jennifer Hutcheon, who are both medical doctors and professors. They recently published a paper titled “Paid Family Leave and Prevention of Acute Respiratory Infections in Young Infants," an analysis of paid leave in New York State, and the impacts of that paid leave on hospitalizations for infants, mostly for RSV. The paper's bottom line is that paid family leave keeps babies healthier and keeps them out of the hospital, and now we have the data to prove it and to show that the effects are large in terms of numbers. But putting together a research paper like this is surprisingly tricky. You need to know what questions you're asking, and you need to think about how you're going to determine causality rather than just correlation. So we're going to take their research from idea to final peer-reviewed paper, and we're going to talk about everything you always wanted to know about how research is conducted. Subscribe to ParentData.org for free access to new articles every week on data-driven pregnancy and parenting.

On today's episode, Dr. Jenny Tanis of the Hope College School of Social Work and Dr. Sacha Klein of the Michigan State University School of Social Work join to talk about their research into the impact of State paid family leave policies on infant maltreatment. The United States is among the few developed countries without paid family leave as a national policy. But four states have long had local leave policies in place: California, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. Tanis and Klein wanted to see what, if any, impact this had on infant maltreatment in those states compared to trends in other states. Reading Room State Paid Family Leave Policies and Infant Maltreatmenthttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38574603/Paid family leave's effect on hospital admissions for pediatric abusive head traumahttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26869666/Impact of Direct Cash Benefits to Low-Income Families Can Be Far-Reachinghttps://imprintnews.org/family/impact-direct-cash-benefits-low-income-families-child/237760

After pointing-out more absurdity from Ohio Republicans, who've introduced a bill banning flag-planting on football fields, Pat Johnston turns his attention back to Michigan, and the many progressive bills that Democrats must pass while they still have the majority in Lame Duck. Pat talks about a Progress Michigan-backed poll showing how Michiganders support state Democrats passing progressive legislation in these final days of 2024. Many of these bills, like Polluter Pay, Paid Family Leave, water affordability, reproductive protections, and others have taken a back seat to more bills directing millions of dollars in corporate welfare. 13:17-34:15: TAP's David Dayen Interview The American Prospect's executive editor, David Dayen, joins the show to talk more about his recent piece titled, "Michigan Democrats Deliver Lame-Duck Disappointment: The first Democratic trifecta in 40 years is ending with internal dissent, stalled legislation, and up to $10 billion in corporate subsidies." Mr. Dayen illustrates how satisfying the corporate donor base is the top priority for the Democratic leadership, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and that's causing dissension with the progressive wing of the caucus. And, Mr. Dayen talks about how the more Democrats cozy-up to corporate-backed interests, the more they keep losing working class voters both in Michigan, and the rest of the United States. Don't forget to check-out David Dayen's "Organized Money" podcast! 35:00-39:00: MI Dems Pass Unemployment Boost In the "Last Call," Pat shares the great news that Michigan Democrats did pass a solid bill boosting to Michigan's Unemployment benefits this week. The bill not only extends unemployment by six more weeks, but it also boosts the payments. The legislation is on its way to Governor Whitmer's desk. Now, this is how it's done, Michigan Democrats!

Paid family leave isn't a just “mom” issue - it's a parental issue that affects every family's well-being. In this special live-recorded episode from Milk Drunk's season 2 launch party, Tabria sits down with fashion icon Tan France and Bobbie's Director of Marketing, Cat Canada, for an unfiltered discussion on paid family leave. Neither Tan nor Tabria had paid family leave after becoming parents (like many Americans), which took a serious toll on their mental health and made them feel abandoned by society, but also inspired their activism. Cat gives us the scoop on what Bobbie is doing to help pass a national paid family leave policy for all families and after teaching Tabria a TikTok parenting hack, Tan rallies male and non-birthing parents to be allies in the paid family leave fight.Bobbie For Change + The Breastie's petition for insurance coverage of infant formula or donor milk for new parents impacted by breast and gynecologic cancer treatment: https://www.hibobbie.com/pages/bobbie-for-change?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1Follow Bobbie on IG for all Milk Drunk Podcast updates: @Bobbie Learn more about Bobbie organic baby formula: https://www.hibobbie.com And for more real talk about parenthood (and babyhood!), head to Milk Drunk: https://milk-drunk.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today is Mom's Equal Pay Day so we're talking about the reality of motherhood in America today, no not the reality we see on social media where momfluencers make pregnancy to childbirth, to raising multiple kids seem like a breeze…we're talking about what it's really like to have kids in a country that doesn't make it easy for us.  Jessica Grose, author of, “Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood,” said she did everything right before she had kids, she was married, had a successful, thriving career, and was debt-free, but she still wasn't ready for the reality of motherhood, and doesn't think any of us are. We go over what every woman should do before welcoming a new addition to set themselves up for success. Takeaways: Having children in America can have negative financial and career implications. Cultural norms around motherhood in the United States are contradictory and place unrealistic expectations on mothers. Governmental solutions such as paid family leave and affordable childcare are needed to support working parents. Parents should support each other and ask for help when needed, and society should be more understanding and less judgmental of parents in public spaces.

It's Episode 90 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast! On this week's show, Pat speaks with Danielle Atkinson, executive director and founder of Mothering Justice, which is an organization working to empower mothers of color through public policy. Mothering Justice is part of a coalition demanding the Democratic majority in the Michigan legislature to vote on paid family leave bills--bills that have yet to receive a hearing even though they were introduced last year! This is a beautiful chance for Democrats to demonstrate how they truly care about the working class, not to mention how passing paid family leave would help them retain their slim majority in Lansing!  Before Danielle joins this week's show, Pat spends the first segment talking about the continued improving economy, and why Biden and the Democrats should celebrate the good news of cooling inflation and corporations scaling-back on their rampant greedflation. It's not to say the economy is perfect. It's not, and millions of working people need help and are feeling squeezed, which is why a paid family leave bill would help even the playing field in Michigan. However, with cooling inflation and greedflation, and low unemployment, Democrats must remind voters how they once again saved the country from another failed MAGA Republican administration.  The "Last Call" covers another example of a Michigan MAGA Republican bobbing-and-weaving when cornered on whether or not they'd support a national abortion ban if elected to the U.S. Senate. But make no mistake. Every MAGA Republican wants to ban all abortion care, and contraception, in order to show how government can control and limit the freedom for women.

(AURN News) - The White House is maintaining its efforts to pass federal legislation guaranteeing paid family and medical leave for American workers. Tom Perez, Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, and Jennifer Klein, Director of the Gender Policy Council, convened a meeting with leaders from several states to discuss strategies for enacting a national paid leave program. The discussion focused on the successes already achieved at the state level and explored ways to build momentum for a federal policy. In a statement, the White House says it remains committed to helping families "take the time they need to bond with a new child; care for a seriously ill loved one; heal from their own serious illness; address circumstances arising from a loved one's military deployment; find safety from domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking; or grieve the death of a loved one." To reinforce this commitment, President Biden has incorporated funding for a national paid family and medical leave program in his proposed fiscal year 2025 budget. States participating in the White House meeting included New Jersey, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, and New Mexico. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The monologue this time has a theme about the hypocrisy of the GOP. First, John discusses the House approving another stopgap bill to fund the government through March and thereby averting yet another partial government shutdown. Second story is the D.O.J.'s new report which shows "cascading failures" on the police response to the mass shooting in Uvalde Texas. And third, Texas National Guard Troops are taking heat after they refused to help a woman and her two children from drowning. Texas governor Greg Abbott is still defying federal orders and he's now blocking Border Patrol agents from certain areas along the border. Then once again, John interviews author, activist, and presidential candidate Marianne Williamson. They chat about her proposal for Universal Basic Income which is a social welfare program in which all citizens of a given population - regularly receive a minimum income. They also discuss Paid Family Leave, immigration, and the Israel - Hamas War. Next, he takes a call from Sam in Tennessee on Marianne Williamson and from Mark in Maryland on Nikki Haley. And he then welcomes back the popular indigenous voices segment with Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella. This time they discuss the movie "Killers of the Flower Moon", the GOP's attempt to dilute the separation of church and state, and the blatant racism against indigenous people by Trump and other Republican leaders. Then lastly, John takes calls from Dillion in New Mexico on the moneys the tribes make and Mitch in Kent State on the history of the Indian Relocation Act.To see John LIVE in San Francisco at Stephanie Miller's Sexy Liberal Show Saturday Jan. 20th click herehttps://www.cityboxoffice.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=2930or go to https://sexyliberal.com/tour/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Feds have poured in 12 Million dollars for EV infrastructure in NM, not near enough to sustain the EV mandates in the state, plus Paid Family Leave back on the docket at the Roundhouse on News Radio KKOBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss the Foundation's ongoing work regarding electric vehicle mandates in New Mexico. The Foundation has also been requesting public records from various governments regarding EV deployment and costs.  New Mexico's 30-day legislative session is right around the corner. One of the big issues RGF will be working to oppose is tax hikes to create a system of paid family leave. Paul and Wally discuss issues with this proposal which was narrowly defeated last year as SB 11.  NM has another mammoth budget surplus ($3.4 billion) again which means there will be plenty of new spending. Sadly, neither the LFC nor the Gov.'s budgets have any tax reductions/reform or even rebates. PNM's merger has fallen through. Paul explains why RGF didn't engage on either side.

You'll be two years older, the U.S. will have gone through a presidential election, and we'll be gearing up for another mid-term in January 2026.

When Liz O'Donnell, a first-grade teacher in Washington DC, arrived at the hospital to give birth she could not have imagined that she would leave without baby Aaliyah or the resources she needed to recover. She had experienced a change in fetal movements a few weeks before and did not realize, after an easy pregnancy, the urgency of her situation. The nurse could not detect a fetal heartbeat and Liz delivered her daughter, a stillbirth. In this episode of Power Station, Liz shares how she founded Aaliyah in Action to help families impacted by perinatal and neonatal loss grieve and to advocate for the recognition of stillbirths as a public health imperative. She partners with over 40 hospitals to provide care packages to women at their most vulnerable time. And when her employer, the DC Public School system, denied her paid leave she pushed back and won the inclusion of stillbirth in the District's Paid Family Leave and Family Bereavement Acts. Liz is deepening her engagement in the public health sphere, exploring inequitable systems in women's maternal health care. Aaliyah remains Liz's powerful North Star.
