Main Street Alliance in coordination with Paid Leave for the United States, Family Friendly Economy, and Small Business Majority conducted a roundtable discussion about the importance of paid family leave.
Senator Mark Warner, Virginia's senior United States Senator, was able to join the roundtable discussion as well.
The roundtable involved 15 small business owners who all shared a personal anecdote about their ability or inability to supply paid leave to themselves or their employees. Each small business owner stressed the importance of a national paid leave program to help small businesses.
