Earlier this month, Blake Emmanuel, Director of Policy & Advocacy at The Fund for Women and Girls, testified before the PA Senate Democratic Caucus Policy Committee in support of the Small Necessities Leave Act, proposed legislation that would provide workers with limited, job-protected leave to address urgent family and caregiving needs.
Blake’s testimony, along with insights from other advocates and policy leaders, was recently featured in Pennsylvania Capital-Star, highlighting the growing conversation around workplace leave protections in Pennsylvania. In her remarks, Blake emphasized how lack of access to leave disproportionately impacts women, caregivers, and low-wage workers and why even modest protections can strengthen economic stability for families across the Commonwealth.
