Applaud Voters for Passing Paid Sick Leave Initiatives

We celebrate the overwhelming support for paid sick leave across Missouri, Alaska, and Nebraska! Voters made it clear that supporting workers’ health and well-being is a priority, with all three states passing initiatives to guarantee paid sick leave. These new laws will provide essential benefits, allowing workers to care for themselves and their families without sacrificing income.

In a country where paid leave is not yet guaranteed nationally, these state-level victories demonstrate the power of collective action to improve workers' rights. With these initiatives, 18 states and Washington, D.C., now have their own paid sick leave protections, helping millions of low-wage workers, especially women, who are often denied this basic benefit.

Sign our petition to applaud Missouri, Alaska, and Nebraska voters for standing up for workers’ rights and supporting families. Together, let’s celebrate this victory for health, dignity, and workplace justice!
