Amber Scorah's petition advocating for paid parental leave, particularly following the tragic death of her 15-week-old son on his first day of daycare, was part of a broader movement. The petition she delivered underscored the need for better parental leave policies in the United States and garnered significant public attention.
The petition was directed at presidential candidates and members of Congress, urging them to prioritize paid family leave policies. Specifically, the petition called on candidates to commit to creating paid family leave policies within their first 100 days in office (ABC News).
While the petition itself did not lead to immediate legislative change, it was a significant part of an ongoing advocacy effort that has contributed to increasing awareness and discussion around the issue of paid family leave in the U.S. The movement's efforts have continued to push for more substantial and widespread parental leave policies.
