Care workers, most of whom are women of color and immigrants, have been forced by the COVID-19 pandemic to make impossible choices between their own health and supporting themselves and their families. And even though they’ve been on the frontlines of the crisis, they are still excluded from basic workplace protections and are the last to get relief.

The Biden Administration has pledged to center care in their relief and recovery efforts. It’s up to us to ensure that Congress and the administration act quickly and make good on this important promise.

Here’s what you can do today to help: click here to watch our new video and then share it on social media. Caregivers and care workers deserve to be seen and cared for, too. They are an integral part of our communities and we owe them so much for providing us with care throughout the pandemic. That’s why we’re telling Congress to take action now to put home care jobs at the center of our nation’s economic recovery plan. Join us.

In the midst of this COVID related loss and fear, one thing is clear: care work is the backbone of the American economy and is vital to ensuring we are ALL able to live at home safely and with dignity. That’s why we must make home care jobs good union jobs with a path to citizenship and family-sustaining wages, benefits and training to provide the highest quality of care. Millions of care workers and families cannot afford to wait.

Thanks for all that you do,

Care Team
