Dear John,
Yesterday, voters woke up to the news that Donald Trump won the 2024 election, an outcome that will have profound consequences for care workers and families who rely on affordable child care, home care, and families who need access to access to paid leave. Care in Action is ready to continue fighting for an equitable care economy where families and workers thrive.
Join us in community on the Make Meaning of the Moment Post-Election Mass Call tonight, November 7th from 8‑9pm ET with members of over 200 organizations fighting for change — because there's so much that's worth fighting for.
What We’re Fighting For
This outcome is disappointing, but our commitment to building a path forward is unwavering. Care is a unifying issue, and people across the political spectrum understand that a strong care infrastructure is essential. An overwhelming bipartisan majority of voters want action to invest in making the care options families need affordable and accessible. A staggering 88% of voters support expanding Medicare to cover in‑home care, including 91% of Democrats, 84% of Independents, and 86% of Republicans. Similarly, 85% of voters support paid parental, family, and medical leave, including 96% of Democrats, 82% of Independents, and 76% of Republicans.
Care in Action will continue building alliances and pushing for policies that genuinely support working families and invest in care. The labor movement—led by care and domestic workers—has been at the forefront, and will continue to push forward to make care valued, accessible, and central to our national priorities, no matter the obstacles.
Take Action
We’re in this together.
