The National Council of Family Relations (NCFR) Policy Brief on State Paid Parental Leave Policy addresses an essential facet of family support and socioeconomic equality.
By advocating for state-level policies that provide paid leave for new parents, the NCFR highlights the potential for significant positive impacts on child welfare, parental mental health, and the economic stability of families while also reducing the rate of marriage dissolution after children.

PAA, ASA, and NCFR have all been contacted and urged to act. My bet is PAA is likely to act; ASA and NCFR less certain. If more members contact them it might help.
Contact these orgs and ask them to act! Members have influence!
If the PAA and ASA can’t defend an award-winning, path breaking sociologist and demographer being accused on absurd grounds, what is their point? I like going to meetings and having journals, but I like having colleagues way more.
