Paid family and medical leave are vital public policies for promoting large-scale improvements in maternal and child health that can boost our national economy. That is why MomsRising-a national on-the-ground and online grassroots organization with over a million members across the United States-is thrilled by the growing momentum for paid family and medical leave. We are not the least bit surprised that support for this critical policy is growing. The United States is the only industrialized nation in the world without paid family and medical leave, and the fact that these basic workplace protections are missing hurts America's global competitiveness, businesses, economy, and, most importantly, infant and maternal mortality rates.
带薪家庭和医疗休假是重要的公共政策，有助于大规模改善母婴健康，从而推动国家经济发展。这就是为什么“妈妈崛起”组织（一个在美国各地拥有超过百万成员的全国性实地和在线基层组织）对带薪家庭和医疗休假的支持力度不断加大感到兴奋不已。对于这项关键政策的支持不断增加，我们一点也不感到惊讶。美国是世界上唯一没有带薪家庭和医疗休假的工业化国家，缺乏这些基本的职场保护措施损害了美国的全球竞争力、企业、经济，最重要的是，还影响了婴儿死亡率和孕产妇死亡率。
