The purpose of this petition is to extend the time off with pay to both mothers and fathers while bonding with their baby. In extending the time off, it will create lasting bonds with their newborn baby.
Currently mothers in the state of California get 8 weeks paid or 12 weeks unpaid. Fathers in the state of California can get up to 12 weeks, 8 of which get paid.
If parental leave does not get extended, mothers, fathers, and babies will be impacted. Survey results from both globally and locally, primarily female physicians, show that almost 50% want at least 6 months of paid leave.
83.3% of mothers want to breastfeed. Breastfeeding requires a stronger bond. Without a longer maternity leave, the mother will not be able to establish a strong enough bond to do so.
We would like to extend parental leave in California to 6 months of paid leave for both mothers and fathers. With your help in signing this petition we could try to make that happen.

I honestly cannot believe how fast this is growing because when I started typing this out in my kitchen I thought maybe ten people would see it. Seeing so many others feel the same frustration about the state of our leave policies is genuinely overwhelming and makes me feel like maybe things could actually change if we keep the pressure on.
