Supporting Working Mothers: Paid Leave, Childcare Investment, and Tax Relief.

The US Senate expresses the need to invest heavily in caregiving infrastructure to support mothers in the workforce and strengthen the economy. The proposed policies aim to reduce childcare costs, increase family income through expanded tax credits and a higher minimum wage, and ensure universal access to paid family leave. These changes are intended to provide greater financial stability and better working conditions for parents.
Key points
Establish robust, universal paid family and medical leave for all workers, including equal parental leave for all genders.
Significant investment in the childcare industry to ensure affordable, high-quality care and dignified wages for providers.
Permanent expansion of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and improvements to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
Raising the Federal minimum wage and addressing systemic inequalities faced by mothers of color and LGBTQ+ mothers.
