Dear Friend,

Sending an email late on a Friday – rookie mistake! [ [link removed] ]But what was true
last Friday is still true today, the cost of care is too high!
Specifically childcare, aging and disability care – care costs are way,
way too high. It doesn’t have to be this way. So we need your help to keep
this issue on the forefront of our political leaders’ agendas!

[ [link removed] ]Quick Signature for ABC News (and the upcoming Presidential debate!):
Our families need lower costs for care!

→ This is a chance to share your own caregiving story and make your voice
heard…and we’ll deliver your stories and signatures to ABC News, hosts of
the next Presidential Debate, to urge them to ask the presidential
candidates about how they will lower care costs for working families.
Voters deserve to know where our candidates stand on these issues!

[ [link removed] ]Please join us in calling for lower costs for the care our families
need!

Together, we will build the care infrastructure that enables our kids, our
families, and our economy to thrive.

Thank you,

- Taylor, Ruth, Kristin, and the whole MomsRising.org & MamásConPoder Team

Dear Friend,

Caregivers and care recipients are facing unprecedented challenges because
our current care system is failing them – and we need your voice to drive
change! As it stands care is costing families, annually:

* more than $50,000 for aging and disability care at home;
* nearly $16,000 for infant child care costs; and
* over $7,000 in out of pocket caregiving costs when caring for family.

And that's not even the full cost, because families lose more than $22
billion a year in wages alone without paid family and medical leave! This
is unreal and yet, families are faced with these very real costs every
day.

Care affects us all, whether we give it, receive it, or will eventually
need it. That’s why we're highlighting the urgent need for affordable,
accessible care and showing how it impacts everyone. Together, we can push
for the legislative changes needed to create a more equitable care system.

Together, we are a powerful voice!

Thank you,
