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.
A care crisis might look like:
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.
The amount of wages that workers and their families lose each year due to a lack of paid family and medical leave.
The average length of time Black caregivers spend providing unpaid care each week.
The proportion of unpaid family caregivers in America who are women.
The estimated number of aging and disabled adults on Medicaid waiting lists for home- and community-based services.
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.
