Paid Parental Leave: U.S. vs. The WorldWhen Australia passed a parental leave law in 2010, it left the U.S. as the only industrialized nation not to mandate paid leave for mothers of newborns. The United States has no mandatory paid family leave policy, making it one of just three countries in the world and the only country in the first-world to not mandate paid maternity leave for new mothers (Swaziland and Papua New Guinea are the others). Many countries give new fathers paid time off as well or allow parents to share paid leave.7,175 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by David

Paid Maternity Leave for Federal EmployeesFederal moms want more!!! The US is the only first world country without mandatory paid maternity leave for working mothers. It's a disgrace. The only option for Federal employee moms is to take unpaid leave through the Family Medical Leave Act or exhaust their accrued sick and annual leave. That's not healthy for new families and it's not how the government should treat its employees. Federal families deserve better! They serve our country everyday and for that they should have the right to take mandatory paid maternity leave. Federal employees should have six months of paid maternity and paternity leave to care for a child in the first year after birth! Sign this petition if you agree!107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Harling

School funding from state revenuesThe use of real estate taxes to fund schools is completely regressive It forces people to pay with no relationship to their ability to pay. This regressive tax pushes the elderly and persons of reduced income out of their homes. It makes the cost of home ownership much higher and thus deprives lower income families of the opportunity to own a home. It depresses the real estate market by raising the cost of ownership.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Doyle
