The Vacation Equality Project is a paid vacation petition that is long overdue for hardworking Americans. Here's a no-fun fact: America is the only advanced economy in the world that doesn't guarantee any paid vacations. A film for the Vacation Equality Project heartbreakingly illustrates what that means for United States citizens.
By signing the paid vacation petition, which is open until August 15, 2014, Americans are helping themselves and a whopping 28 million others visit loved ones, enjoy a day at the beach, watch their children playing baseball and more without the guilt of not making money weighing on their conscience. A cause close to many people's hearts, the Vacation Equality Project will send a postcard to The House of Representatives for every signature gained to drive the point home.
The Vacation Equality Project is supported by Hotels.com.
