Bringing Paid Family and Medical Leave to Maryland

The Time to Care Coalition, which is championing the effort to pass paid family and medical leave in Maryland, is hosting our official campaign kickoff in advance of the 2022 legislative session. The virtual event Tuesday, October 19 at 6 pm will feature speakers from across Maryland talking about why we need a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program in our state, and how you can be a part of the movement.

MDCEP is an active member of the Time to Care Coalition and we are excited to extend this new opportunity for you to get involved. You can sign up to attend the kickoff by following this link, and please feel free to share far and wide with your networks and contacts! The more the merrier.
