One Brooklyn
December 22, 2015
“Paid parental leave has been a focus of mine since the launch of Family Friendly Brooklyn, my vision for a borough that prioritizes the wellness of nearly 200,000 Brooklynites under the age of five. I am pleased that dialogue with City Hall has helped foster a robust policy allowing men and women employed by our City to put the health of their families first during the fundamental beginning of their newborns’ lives. Paid parental leave assists our efforts to address the inequality gap and helps all of Brooklyn’s children start off on more equal footing, all without putting one’s job security in the balance. Mayor de Blasio’s executive order is a crucial step toward achieving universal paid parental leave across our state and our country.”
