In this episode, we dive into the critical issue of paid family and medical leave in America. Our guest is Dawn Hucklebridge, the founding director of Paid Leave for All, a national campaign advocating for a federal paid leave program. We discuss the current landscape, where the U.S. remains the only wealthy nation without a national paid leave policy, and the implications this has on families, businesses, and the economy.

Dawn shares the current fight to establish a comprehensive paid leave system covering parental leave, caregiving for ill family members, and personal medical issues. We explore the economic benefits, impact on gender equity, and how paid leave strengthens families while supporting a productive workforce.

Key Topics:
- Current state of paid leave policies (or lack thereof) in the United States
- Paid Leave for All's mission & efforts to pass federal legislation
- Benefits of paid leave for families, businesses, and the economy
- Paid leave as a workforce issue impacting talent retention & recruitment 
- Gender equity and how paid leave narrows the pay gap
- Legislative hurdles and path forward for federal paid leave

Be sure to tune in for this insightful conversation about an issue impacting millions of American workers and their loved ones. We discuss viable policy solutions that can bring the U.S. in line with other industrialized countries in supporting families.
