*Date:* Dec 23, 2016 Summary: On Tuesday, the District of Columbia passed a new paid family leave policy — one of the most generous in the United States http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/d-c-council-passes-one-nations-generous-paid-family-leave-bills/. As we reported last year http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/u-s-support-paid-family-leave-one-pay/, the United States and Papua New Guinea are the only two nations in the world to offer no paid maternity leave. And we’re the only *industrial nation* http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jul/25/kirsten-gillibrand/yes-us-only-industrialized-nation-without-paid-fam/ to not offer paid family leave.
