Building on the success of our #ShowUsYourLeave movement, we’re expanding the conversation even further. Introducing #ShowUsYourChildCare: a new initiative, brought to you by theSkimm and Moms First, and dedicated to addressing the care crisis in our country by calling on companies to show up for their employees and open up about their child care policies.

We've received hundreds of stories from our audience about their experience with paid family leave, or lack thereof. Too many parents are forced back to work much sooner than they or their families are ready for. We asked Skimm’rs where they stand.
of you have no faith that the government will agree on a national policy
of you have held yourself back from asking a potential employer about their leave policy in an interview
of you think your current employer needs to reexamine its leave policies
We’ve heard your stories, we’ve amplified the need for paid leave, and you’ve helped us spark a movement. Check out our conversation, #ShowUsYourLeave: The Reality of Paid Family Leave Today, to learn more about how we can push for change. theSkimm’s co-founders and co-CEOs, Carly Zakin & Danielle Weisberg, spoke with Allyson Felix, Jenna Johnson, Allyson Bronner, and Joi Chaney about where the US stands on paid leave and how a lack of it leaves women behind. Check it out.
