On Thursday 27th August, parents across the country will book a couple of hours off work and join family-friendly demonstrations in 12 cities (and counting) with two demands: flexible working by default, and at least six weeks' paternity leave at 90% pay, including for the self-employed.

Let’s make this strike a huge political and media moment.
