The Care Can’t Wait Coalition applauds the White House for its extraordinary work to ensure that care is at the forefront of federal policymaking. This executive order ensures systemic change for care workers, people who receive care, and caregivers. Moreover, this executive order makes clear that the Biden Administration understands care infrastructure is the foundation that individuals and families need, is how our communities thrive, and is the work that drives the economy as a whole.

This morning, the Biden Administration released the largest slate of executive actions for care in history through an unprecedented executive order that includes 50 different directives to federal agencies to address affordability and quality of child care, long-term care for aging and disabled adults, and job quality of the care workforce. 

In an unprecedented show of unity of workers and leaders across the care economy, the Care Can't Wait Coalition, National Domestic Workers Alliance, SEIU, AFL-CIO, AFT, AFSCME, Community Change, and Care in Action will gather in Washington, D.C. for the first ever Care Workers Can't Wait Summit on April 18 and 19 to address the needs of care workers and carve out a path forward that strengthens our care infrastructure and economy.
