#SavePaidLeave: Twitter rallies to protect popular policy proposal from Joe Manchin's threats
SalonSenator Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, seems to have successfully yanked a massively popular portion of President Joe Biden's domestic agenda out of the $3.5 reconciliation bill currently under negotiations in Congress. Biden's initial proposal within his "Build Back Better" plan included 12 weeks of paid family leave. Melissa Boteach, the Vice President of Income Security and Child Care at the National Women's Law Center pointed to growing wealth disparities in the country as one of the main driving factors to support the working class through the paid leave plan. A local group in Delaware, the Delaware Cares Coalition to Save Paid Leave, rallied at the Wilmington Train Station on Sunday, following the President's meeting with Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
