New Jersey is unique, we are 1 of only 4 states provides workers with paid family leave and only 1 of 11 states that guarantees workers can earn paid sick days.

But many workers have no idea about these protections, in fact 6 of 10 New Jerseyans have no idea our state paid family leave program exisist despite the fact that most of them are paying into the program!

You can help raise awareness and help more working families access the money and time they need to be able to put their families first when it's most important! Paid family leave and paid sick days have been shown to improve health and financial outcomes for working families!

We can provide free trainings to group of 5 or more and are able to tailor the workshop to the amount of time and audience and can also do it in Spanish!

Please provide us with your request. We can tailor the presentation to the audience and can present in both English and Spanish. For more information contact Yarrow at yarrow@njcitizenaction.org or 732-246-4772 ext. 125

In addition we can organize other events, for example, see some of the Community Action Forums that happened throughout the state in partnership with the Department of Labor. We would love to organize more, please reach out with requests such as these too!
