The DC Paid Leave Campaign, representing a diverse coalition of local businesses, community institutions, service providers, and advocacy organizations, strongly supports Councilmember Elissa Silverman’s “Universal Paid Leave Portability Amendment Act of 2022” (B24-0661), which would expand access to DC’s Paid Family Leave program for working families who have already earned paid leave, but who are in between jobs when they need to access that leave.
