Care is Justice

At Caring Across Generations we are committed to building an inclusive movement for care that includes all voices, backgrounds, identities, and political views. We are a multi-racial, multi-generational campaign that seeks to build a majoritarian movement for a strong, equitable care infrastructure, and a culture that values care and caregiving.

The lack of reliable and real care systems affects everyone differently. That’s why Caring Across Generations is committed to finding intersectional solutions to our care challenges that center those who are most impacted: because if we can solve for the needs of those most harmed by our broken care systems, we will create new systems that truly work for us all.

We believe that this work can and should be done with and for everyone, but that work looks different in different communities and contexts. As organizers, communicators, campaigners, and cultural strategists, we meet people where they are and attempt to bring them in, and work with them around their understanding of our goals as we seek to understand theirs.

Equity is about creating material change in the lives of people who have borne the brunt of systemic inequity in our care economy. For us, this includes ensuring that any solutions we work on concretely address the unique needs of Black caregivers. Black caregivers and care recipients, disabled people, and other communities who aren’t served by the current system.

While we’re changing how this country views and values care, we’re modeling the values that will help achieve — and sustain — that same culture of care to enable every person to live, work, and age with dignity. By improving our internal processes to honor what our employees need when it comes to care, we can model one aspect of the change this country needs.
