John, with just days until 2025, our strategy as we start this pivotal year is clear:
Hope is strong in our community, and we are ready to keep fighting for progress. Just recently 400 of our domestic worker members joined a national Zoom call showing they’re not giving up. Will you fight alongside them and donate today?
Almost 70% of care received at home and in one’s community is funded through Medicaid, impacting more than a million direct care workers and over 70 million people who rely on Medicaid for essential care and services. A second Trump administration threatens to gut Medicaid, breaking the backbone of our care economy.
The impact of Medicaid cuts will be devastating, especially for the women of color who hold our care system together: wages will plummet and protections will disappear, jeopardizing care nationwide.
We can stop this—but we need your help to be ready to endure and to lead.
Domestic workers have made progress in 2024, from increasing care worker wages and reducing costs of direct care for families, to introducing new protections against wage theft. Don’t let anyone take that progress away.

P.S. The future of care work depends on what we do today. Please give generously, and help us fight for a just care economy. We have never needed you more.
