This news comes on the heels of Monday's announcement from the Gov. that reopened beaches + some retail stores.
That means some folks in SC will return to work earlier than expected.

Use the link below and tell Congress to remember *all* workers in South Carolina! Ask your Senators to support the PAID Leave Act

The PAID Leave Act would provide:
14 emergency paid sick days for public health emergencies (ex. #COVID19)
12 weeks of emergency paid family & medical leave
AND it would permanently
provide 7 (accrued) paid sick days
enact a paid family & medical leave program

That's all for now, y'all.
We need you to #takeaction and tell Congress to provide #paidleave for workers!
