Marshall Plan for Moms: Supporting Working Women and Families

This bill aims to support mothers re-entering the workforce after the pandemic, focusing on addressing childcare issues, wage disparities, and the lack of paid leave. The proposed changes are intended to improve families' financial security and reduce the burden on mothers, who often bear the primary responsibility for household and caregiving duties.
Key points
Implementation of a comprehensive paid leave plan, including for childcare and illness, to help parents balance work and family responsibilities.
Significant investments in the childcare sector, including support for daycare centers, to ensure access to affordable and high-quality care.
Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour, which aims to improve the financial situation of many families, especially those where women are primary earners.
Expansion of food assistance programs (SNAP) and tax credits for families with children to reduce poverty and ensure access to healthy food.
