Why care?

When it comes to care, we all deserve to be able to make the choices that are right for us, our families, and our loved ones. Care is one of the most fundamental and human things we do.

Millions of people are trapped in a care crisis every day.

A care crisis might look like:

Needing to choose between going to work and taking your parent to their doctor’s appointments
Having to sell your family home to qualify for Medicaid so you can access services to manage your disability
Being forced to leave your job because there are no affordable child care options in your neighborhood

These crises are symptoms of a much larger system.

We need to leave behind our patchwork system, trapping us in impossible choices. We deserve comprehensive systems that allow us to make the best choices for our lives when it comes to our care. We need to build a culture of care in which no one is abandoned and left to suffer alone.

Change the future of care

If we act together, we can create lasting change. We need a movement of people united around our demand: to get everyone the care we all need and deserve, from child care to aging and disability care to better support for caregivers and care workers.
