John,

“Everybody will come to rely on care services at some point in their lives, or knows somebody else who will."

As Coston Plummer, a home care worker in Chicago, delivered this line to a crowded room of caregivers, care recipients, and care activists – along with elected leaders like Secretary of Labor Julie Su – his words were met with applause and recognition. That’s the power of this incredible care movement. 

Our Care Can’t Wait bus traveled across the country last week and I was blown away by the outpouring of support and the powerful stories shared by so many of you. Together, with the help of our Care Can’t Wait partners, we created a national conversation about the critical need for care in our communities. The feeling of community and clarity of purpose was so strong.

But our work doesn’t stop here— we need your help to keep the momentum going. 

Make a matched gift through GoFundMe now.

Here’s what your support helped us accomplished in just the last few weeks:

• Over 1,000 care activists joined us on the ground. Across 6 days and 9 stops across the country, we were joined by over 1,000 people in full support of the care movement. 
• Nearly 24,000 people from around the country signed our Care Can’t Wait petition. These signatures represent the voices of those demanding a better future for care in the U.S. – and we just delivered those signatures to ABC Studios this week to call on them to ask about care in next week’s presidential debate.
• We heard countless impactful care stories. Caregivers and care recipients from around the country shared powerful remarks and personal stories that reminded us why this work is so vital. 

Now, we’re asking you to help us take the next step. GoFundMe generously offered to match every donation up to $50,000. That means your contribution will be doubled, making an even greater impact.

Donate to our GoFundMe today to ensure we can keep organizing events like these, pushing for the change our communities so desperately need. Your support makes all the difference.
