Every parent deserves to earn a decent wage and paid time off to care for themselves or a loved one. That’s why Parenting Journey is proud to support the Raise Up Massachusetts campaign to raise the minimum wage to $15 and implement a paid leave law.
We were thrilled to put our values into action last week when Parenting Journey sent 12 staff and supporters to a rally at the state house in support of this campaign.
