John,

Right now, millions of people are struggling to access care because our systems are constantly under threat, leaving them unable to keep up with rising needs and costs.

From the hard-fought victory of Olmstead 26 years ago this week, which affirmed the right of disabled people to live in their communities, to today’s fight to protect Medicaid, this moment didn’t happen by accident. A new film helps show us how we got here and where we’re going.

We invite you to watch CAREGIVING, a powerful new documentary executive-produced by Bradley Cooper, a founding member of our Creative Care Council, that brings the story of caregiving in America to life. It premieres on PBS tonight at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT and is free to stream now. 

This film captures the beauty and intimacies of caregiving, while also exposing the broken systems that too often leave caregivers and care receivers behind. It follows the lives of paid and unpaid caregivers, and features insights from advocates who are working every day to change the future of care. Caring Across Generations and our partners are even featured in the documentary! 

Watch the Film

With 105.6 million people in the U.S. involved in caregiving right now, this is a story that belongs to all of us. Whether you’re a caregiver yourself, rely on care, or simply believe in a more just and compassionate future, don’t miss this tribute to the work that makes all other work possible!

I guarantee you’ll see parts of your own life reflected back to you in the families at the heart of this film. Watch it. Share it. Because when we uplift caregivers, and their stories, we all move forward together.

With care,

Lydia Storie, Director of Culture Change
