Hi John,

Only 1 in 10 TV shows in 2021 included caregiving storylines and less than a 1/3rd of those depicted characters taking care of their aging or disabled family members.

What this tells us is caregivers and care recipients aren’t fully represented on screen. This means harmful narratives insinuating that aging or disabled people aren’t valuable members of society are inadvertently reinforced.

The good news is I’m currently working with TV and film creators to increase care representation on screen BUT I need your help. Take 1 minute and send this message to entertainment leaders: We need more diverse care representation on screen! [[link removed]]

As a longtime television executive, I know there’s so much opportunity to rewrite the story for caregivers and care recipients across the country. I do this work because seeing more care in our popular culture is essential to transforming how we collectively value and prioritize care in the U.S.

It’s time to imagine a world where TV not only entertains us but also reflects the way care shows up in our lives.

With your voice and my work consulting with creatives throughout Hollywood, I know we are going to transform how care is represented on screen!

Take action right now: Tell Hollywood we need more care on screen now. [[link removed]]

More to come!
