John -- We just wanted to make sure you saw our earlier note.
The ongoing pandemic has shown us all that home care workers are essential to keeping our nation's seniors and people with disabilities living safely and with dignity at home. In short, care work -- predominantly done by Black, Latina, and Asian women -- is the backbone of our economy and our families.
Government investment in a comprehensive care infrastructure, including living wages and benefits for care workers, is an investment in a strong and equitable economic future that benefits us all.
That's why we need you to take action now. Call your congressperson and tell them that Care workers deserve good jobs, a path for citizenship and our families deserve the care they need.
Thank you for your support,
NDWA Care Team

John -- Thousands of care workers, advocates, and supporters joined us recently on our Tele-Town Hall with SEIU to talk about how we can work together and demand care workers are top of mind in the new Biden-Harris administration.
We're so thankful to all of you who were able to attend! If you weren't able to make it, visit us online to learn more about our "Care Is Essential" campaign.
COVID taught us that the job of caring for our loved ones is essential. Take action right now! Call your representatives and tell them that Care workers deserve good jobs, a path for citizenship and our families deserve the care they need!
Home care workers do crucial life-saving work every day and it's time for real investment in good union jobs with family-sustaining wages, basic benefits, and training to provide the highest standards of care.
Thank you for all you do,
NDWA Care Team
