=============================

Dear Friend,

Care is essential. It’s essential to our health, our families, and our communities. This year has laid bare how broken our long term care system is. Home and community care services are too hard to access — they’re too expensive and there just aren’t enough caregivers. The home care workforce, which is 90% women, more than half women of color, and nearly a third immigrant workers, has been excluded from worker protections for decades.

We have a chance to put caregiving at the center of our economy, and to lift up millions of women who do this essential, compassionate work. Recovery efforts aimed at bringing us out of this crisis must center Black, Latina, and Asian women and communities of color by investing in good union home care jobs and a long term care system we can all access and afford.

As we work to recover from this crisis, we’re calling for deep investments that center the women of color whose caregiving helps others go to their own jobs, and is central to so many American families. Please join me in signing this petition sponsored by a diverse coalition of organizations fighting for economic justice, racial justice, and communities where all of us can thrive. [[link removed]]

In this critical moment, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform care in this country. We all want our family and friends who are aging or have disabilities to be able to live at home with dignity and independence.

Thank you for adding your voice to this movement!
