John —
Last night hundreds of care champions from 40 states came together for our Power Up for Care event. The speakers were incredibly powerful and, together, we made hundreds of calls to our Senators to urge them to pass a reconciliation bill with a $400 billion investment in home and community-based services (HCBS).
Thanks to the amazing energy our wonderful workers and supporters created last night, we're re-energeized and ready to keep fighting! Stay with us: take action today and tell Congress to increase access to care services and support almost 48 million unpaid family caregivers.
We have the once-in-a-generation opportunity to ensure care jobs are good jobs and that our loved ones can receive the care they need to live and age with dignity and respect.
We need Congress to deliver a reconciliation bill with a $400 billion investment in home and community-based services. This investment would raise wages for care workers — most of whom are women of color — to ensure they’re able to build financial security for themselves and their families.
This much-needed investment will also create more quality care options so family caregivers can return to the workforce knowing that their loved ones are in good hands and will strengthen our care infrastructure by:
- creating an estimated 1.1 million new jobs each year over the next decade,
- including nearly 800,000 care jobs, and
- ensuring a true, equitable economic recovery for all.
Thank you for all you do,
