“Wild Vase is a floral design studio specializing in seasonal and local blooms. As a California-based small business owner, I have been fortunate to have access to the state’s paid leave program. Paid leave is a critical benefit that I likely couldn’t afford to offer without the state’s program. In my work, I partner with small business owners and entrepreneurs from all industries — entertainment, photography, event planning, service industry, and wonderful local farmers. Small businesses are vital to our communities, and we need policies that work for us and allow us to grow, create jobs, and ensure our workers are provided for. Policies that help entrepreneurs and employees, in turn, help our economy and cultural vibrancy. I support the FAMILY Act as a critical step towards providing this same benefit nationwide so that all businesses, workers, and communities can thrive.”
