Domestic workers — who are mostly women of color and immigrant women — are
three times as likely to be living in poverty as other workers. This has
only been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is evident by looking at the 2 million women who have already left
the workforce during the pandemic due to the rising costs of childcare,
healthcare, and homecare.

Right now, Congress has a historic, one-in-a-generation opportunity to
invest in these care workers by delivering a reconciliation package with a
total $400 billion investment in home and community-based services (HCBS).

The need for care is universal, and the key to make it a reality for all
is a total investment of $400 billion in HCBS and care infrastructure.
Investing in HCBS will benefit us all.

and other progressive leaders to demand that Congress invest in the care
economy in President Biden’s Reconciliation Bill. Show your support for
domestic workers and the care economy by adding your name today.

ADD YOUR NAME

This economic transformation will raise wages and economic security for
workers; make home care jobs good jobs with dignity and good benefits; and
positively impact our economic recovery by allowing workers to participate
in the economy, which will create an estimated 1.1 million new jobs each
year over the next decade.

Domestic work and care work should be given the same dignity, respect, and
fair wages as any other job, without question or doubt.

[ [link removed] ]Please, add your name to demand Congress support the care economy and
our domestic workers today.

Thanks for your support.

In solidarity,

Team Ro
