Gov @GavinNewsom is wrong to veto AB 1930, which helps vulnerable moms at very low cost in the first year after a baby is born. Talking about maternal health is not enough. We call on the Gov to adopt this measure in his 2023-24 budget!

"Twenty years after California became the first state in the nation to offer paid family leave, Newsom signed Senate Bill 951 into law to boost the portion of a worker’s salary that would be covered should they choose to take time off work to bond with a new child or care for a sick family member...The new law will extend the state’s current wage replacement rates through 2024 and increase them starting on Jan. 1, 2025, from 70% to 90% for low-wage workers earning less than $57,000 a year and from 60% to 70% for all other eligible workers."

The new law will increase the portion of a worker’s salary that an employer must cover should they choose to take leave.
Thank you @gavinnewsom for signing SB 951! Everyone should be able to take time to care for themselves or a family member. We’re thrilled that more WIC families will be able to take some time to bond with their new babies and recover from birth. #paidfamilyleave
