In 2016, Paid Leave for the U.S. (PL+US) was founded as a time-bound campaign to win paid family and medical leave for every working person in the U.S. In five years, PL+US won paid leave for 8.5 million working people at some of the country’s largest employers and helped advance federal policy through the House of Representatives, a historic achievement. PL+US closed our doors in the summer of 2022, but we invite you to check out paidleave.us to find resources on workplace policies, stats and messaging on paid leave, tips for navigating your own paid leave and some of our organizational lessons learned. For any other inquiries, message info@paidleave.us

Honeycomb’s mission is to release the full joy of being a parent through meaningful community and shared parenting. Honeycomb is a collaboration app that empowers parents in trusted groups –– from classrooms to neighborhoods to after-school activities –– to plan playdates and to share after-care, carpooling, and activity planning. Honeycomb makes shared parenting magically easy, serving as the group's assistant by surfacing opportunities, managing scheduling, and sending reminders across families. Honeycomb is a private community for pre-k through elementary school families, with groups usually formed around classrooms (or any other shared interest). Honeycomb also partners with pre-k programs, elementary schools and PTAs to help build connection and well-being across their communities.
