Care Network

A national community of state and local partners working to strengthen care infrastructure across the country. Across the country, groups are organizing to strengthen care in their communities, from childcare and aging services to disability support and paid leave.

A National Network for Care in Every State

The Care Network was created to connect organizations across the country who believe care should be accessible, affordable, and valued. By bringing together workers, caregivers, advocates, labor partners, and community members, the network helps activate people, build collective power, and advocate for policies that strengthen care in every community.

As part of the growing care movement, members of the Care Network organize, mobilize, and push for real investments that support families, strengthen our economy, and ensure everyone can age and live with dignity.

Building on the success of Care Can’t Wait state work, this network creates a shared space where leaders across the care movement can connect, collaborate, and grow our collective impact. Together, we are building a stronger, more connected care movement nationwide. Care Can’t Wait state coalitions in California, Illinois, and Michigan continue as ongoing partnerships and organizing efforts.
