The campaign has been featured in hundreds of news stories and has won endorsements from labor unions, religious and family organizations and government. Several cities and the governor of Michigan officially proclaimed October 24th as Take Back Your Time Day.

We've developed a web site with over 50 downloadable posters and other resources, published the Take Back Your Time handbook, and put out an e-mail newsletter.

We've built a coalition of organizations which support the following "Time to Care" policy agenda:

Guaranteeing paid childbirth leave for all parents. Today, only 40% of Americans are able to take advantage of the 12 weeks of unpaid leave provided by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.

Guaranteeing at least one week of paid sick leave for all workers. Many Americans work while sick, lowering productivity and endangering other workers.

Guaranteeing at least three weeks of paid annual vacation leave for all workers. Studies show that 28% of all female employees and 37% of women earning less than $40,000 a year receive no paid vacation at all.

Placing a limit on the amount of compulsory overtime work that an employer can impose, with our goal being to give employees the right to accept or refuse overtime work.

Making Election Day a holiday, with the understanding that Americans need time for civic and political participation.

Making it easier for Americans to choose part-time work. Hourly wage parity and protection of promotions and pro-rated benefits for part-time workers.
