Working people shouldn't have to choose between taking care of their health or a sick child, and a paycheck-or even a job. But in reality, millions of working people are forced to make those decisions. In fact, half of workers don't have a single paid sick day.

Join the Online Rally for Healthy Families! Send a message to Congress that working people need a basic standard of paid sick days.

Currently, there are no state or federal laws that require workplaces to guarantee paid sick days. It's time that our elected leaders update our labor laws to reflect the realities of today's working people and their families. The Healthy Families Act, introduced in the U.S. Congress, would establish a new standard of up to seven paid sick days per year for workers to recover from their own illness, or to care for sick family members.

Join the Online Rally for Healthy Families at www.everyonegetssick.org. Most of us can't make it to Washington to urge our members of Congress to support paid sick days. That's why we're rallying online. Join us in front of the U.S. Capitol building and voice your concerns. Hear from more than 20 community leaders and workers, and from our elected leaders about the need to pass the Healthy Families Act. You can share your story or upload your photo too.

Together, let's call on Congress to support our working families!
