In partnership w/ @CELA_Lawyers @LegalAidAtWork we are proud to cosponsor #AB518 & #AB524 introduced by @BuffyWicks which will ensure that millions of #FamilyCaregivers are protected against discrimination & workers can afford to take leave to care for #ChosenFamily!

Family Caregiver Anti-Discrimination Act (#AB524) will prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on their status as a #FamilyCaregiver.
Basically, your work cannot fire, demote, refuse to hire you because of your family responsibilities.

#PFL for Chosen Family (#AB518) will ensure workers who care for #ChosenFamily can access #PaidFamilyLeave. This is esp important bc the program's outdated definition of family does not reflect today’s workforce. You can be there for your bestie AND receive wage replacement!
Proud to share that #AB1041, the Chosen Family Act, passed the Assembly!
AB 1041 would expand the definition of family to allow workers to take time off to care for their "designated person"—more accurately reflecting today's diverse families, esp. in the LGBTQI community. (1/4)

As my colleague, & proud co-author of #AB1041, @BauerKahan pointed out: CA is home to so many diverse, multi-generational families—it isn't always biological family who is there to care for children in a time of need.

And as my other colleague @AsmChrisWard so eloquently put it, #AB1041 reflects California’s values: accepting & appreciating people for who they are, as well as who they love as family — and ensuring that our workplace policies take our beautiful diversity into account. (3/4)

わかっていたつもりでわかっていなかった。とくに #RinaSawayama さんの #ChosenFamily を聴いてから問い直していた「LGBTQ+」の『Q』の意味。
そしtとくに，この後に来る次の説明。

以前から #EltonJohn が ”Proud to be Queer”と主張していたことは知っていた。でも「LGBTQ+」の『Q』にダブルミーニングがあるとは知らなかった。最近は妻の方が、YouTubeでLGカップルの動画を観て詳しくなっていた。知るってことは大切だ。

We don’t need to be related to relate
We don’t need to share genes or a surname
You are, you are, my chosen, chosen family
血の繋がりがなくても かかわり合えばいい
遺伝子や名前が同じでなくても 気にしなければいい
あなたは 私の選んだ家族なのだから

So what if we don’t look the same?
We’ve been going through the same thing
You are, you are, my chosen, chosen family
同じように見えなくてもいい
ずっと同じものを見てきたのだから
あなたは あなたは 私の選んだ家族なのだから

A “safe space” should be where you are honest and vulnerable — a place where you can be your whole self without apology. But if your #safespace empowers your mental illness, enables your addiction, or encourages your self-destructive destructive behavior, it’s not safe at all.
If your #chosenfamily likes to lick your wounds and wants to play with your demons, but doesn’t actually help you toward healing (or worse, feels betrayed by your growth), then perhaps they’re not a very good choice.
Don’t confuse a place that is comfortable and welcoming to you with a place that is safe and good for you.

They know the movement is rooted in love. Love of family, love of community, love of justice. Oh, & the occasional cupcake, too!
