“As Wendell Berry has written, 'to defend what we love we need a particularizing language, for we love what we particularly know.' I would suggest that we can all build this local knowledge, and therefore also build our love for our homes.”

I was proud to work with

on their paid leave proposal, which calls for 12 weeks of paid leave for new parents and for end-of-life care for those entering hospice. We also call for two weeks of caregiving paid leave for all workers.

I am currently 8 weeks into my 12 weeks paid leave. Twelve weeks isn’t generous; it’s just. My baby still needs to eat, sometimes every 1.5 hours. I’m still going to PT twice a week to recover from a birth injury.
