Kirsten Gillibrand Mean Quotations

America is the only high income nation without a paid family leave program. This means that if you or a family member gets sick, there is no guarantee that you can take the time you need to take care of yourself or your loved one, leaving already vulnerable families in the position of making hard decisions in cases of illness.

For many of the brave men and women who have fought on the front lines, returning home means trying to navigate a complicated and bureaucratic Veterans Administration benefits system.

For me, getting off the sidelines means women making a difference by letting their voices be heard on the issues they care about.

We must do everything we can to help our service members and veterans transition into civilian life once they return home, and that means preparing them for the tough job market.
