Almost 30 million workers here in the U.S. lack even 1 (paid) sick day, leaving them torn between going to work or recuperating at home. The U.S. is the only developed country that doesn't offer any guaranteed sick leave. The Healthy Families Act would change this, if it can get passed. That's where you come in.
👉 The Health Families Act aims to give workers 7 paid sick days annually. Help get this crucial assistance over the finish line by adding your name in support: https://p2a.co/x89tCis

Transforming a blank canvas was never one of my strong points, but artist Charlie French makes it look easy (despite his life-changing diagnosis). Since the age of 16, Charlie has lived with Down syndrome regression disorder (DSRD), a condition that took away much of his ability to communicate or function. His condition has stabilized and his masterpieces just keep coming. ❤️
