Advocates push for paid family leave for parents of stillborns

Cassidy Peron, after losing her stillborn daughter, faced revoked paid family leave due to a legal loophole in New York. She has since advocated for legislative change to protect mothers of stillborn babies. Despite setbacks, her efforts have gained national attention, highlighting the lack of guaranteed paid leave in the US. Advocacy groups are pushing for federal legislation, emphasizing the critical need for paid leave, especially for low-wage workers and mothers. The movement aims to set a precedent for national policy, advocating for the value and rights of women and birthing individuals.
