Paid leave pays off

With Trump entering the White House and a Republican controlled Senate, our hope for national paid leave policy feels further away than ever. But the data is clear—paid leave is not only the right thing to do, it's a smart business decision. It boosts employee retention, productivity, and family wellbeing. We're not willing to wait another 30 years for a solution that only works for some Americans. Join us in funding the push for paid leave.

Funding the push for paid leave in partnership with Bobbie for Change

We're donating $10,000—$1 for every leave taken in Cocoon to date

Then, for every leave managed in Cocoon from now through the end of 2025, we’ll add $1 to the donation pot. Thank you to Bobbie for Change for paving the way for this program and making this possible by putting together the N.O. Support Grant Coalition and their Parents Push Harder campaign. Here's how you can get involved:

Use Cocoon for leave management and every leave run through Cocoon contributes to the cause.

Where the donations are going

We’ve chosen to split them equally between three leading organizations whose visions of equitable and accessible paid leave for all align closely with ours:

Chamber of Mothers

Uniting mothers as advocates to create a better America—speaking up and driving change on the state and local levels, as well as in D.C.

Donate

Moms First

A movement to fight for the structural changes moms need and deserve: affordable child care, paid family leave, and equal pay for moms.

Donate

Paid Leave for All

A national campaign of organizations fighting to win paid family and medical leave for all working people.

"One in four women go back to work just two weeks after giving birth.

This fact is not only unconscionable but also represents the moment in many women's lives where their career trajectory derails. Paid family leave is a cornerstone policy to achieving a world where all women can move in and out of motherhood without penalty. We are grateful to Cocoon for this generous support, which brings us one step closer to ensuring that every mom gets access to the paid leave they deserve."

It's time for paid leave for all

Cocoon's CEO, Mahima Chawla, chatted with Melinda French Gates at the 2024 Care Summit about the future of caregiving. Here's what Melinda had to say about the impact of passing paid family leave in America.

“Paid leave is a powerful tool for health, financial security, and a more equitable economy. We came very close to passing paid leave just a few years ago, and paid leave remains one of the most impactful and widely supported policies in the country. We are confident that progress will continue, and supporting this movement will get us to the finish line."

"Chamber of Mothers has brought together moms across the country to advocate at the federal, state, and local levels to pass paid leave legislation. We have become thought partners on new legislation, and we have created bipartisan relationships so that we can convince Members of Congress who have historically voted against paid leave that we can find a way to pay for paid leave from the national budget. We know that moms united are powerful, and together we will keep fighting until we win paid leave for all Americans."
