LOS ANGELES—Sen. Laphonza Butler, Neera Tanden, Dawn Lyen–Gardner, June Diane Raphael, Christy Turlington and Elaine Welteroth shared their personal care stories and called on Congress to invest in care workers and family caregivers during the final day of CAREFEST, a two-day in-person summit focused on the future of caregiving. The first-of-its-kind event, convened by Caring Across Generations, brings together 500 cultural influencers, corporate partners, policymakers, researchers, philanthropists and care advocates to define solutions for the lack of care systems in the U.S.

Photos and videos from the event, which include panel discussions and plenary sessions centered on expanding access to care can be found on YOUTUBE and GETTY IMAGES HERE. Cutlines for clips available upon request.

Caring Across Generations is a national organization of family caregivers, care workers, disabled people, and aging adults working to transform the way we care in this country so that care is accessible, affordable and equitable — and our systems of care enable everyone to live and age with dignity. To achieve our vision, we transform cultural norms and narratives about aging, disability and care; win federal and state-level policies; and build power amongst the people touched by care.
