Dear Friend,
It’s now or never. Many of our most pressing demands for a Care Economy
are on the line this week as Congress negotiates -- and as lawmakers like
Senators Manchin and Sinema remain hold outs!
Your voice, presence, and power are urgently needed in DC to show that
child care, paid family and medical leave, home-and community-based
services, extending the Child Tax Credit expansion, living wages, and a
path to citizenship for care workers can’t wait! These policies are job
enabling and job creating. They boost our economy and our families, and we
need them now!!
And these policies are on the line.
[ [link removed] ]Can you come together with us this Thursday at 12:30pm on the Capitol
Lawn in DC? (exact directions below)? Be sure to RSVP so we can let you
know in case the location changes!!
Congress is deliberating on these policies as you read this. You coming
together (literally) with us will powerfully and directly show Congress
that they need to get moving and pass the care infrastructure in the Build
Back Better reconciliation package ASAP!
The ongoing pandemic continues to take its toll on families, businesses,
and the economy, and we are just done -- DONE! -- with the slow downs in
building the care infrastructure that’s outlined in the Biden Build Back
Better plans, including the American Jobs Plan and the American Families
Plan!
[ [link removed] ]We are coming together for a Care Economy because #CareCantWait, and
you are needed. Click here to join the #CareCantWait Power Up gathering in
Washington, DC on Thursday at 12:30pm (directions below).
We’re outraged that Senator Manchin is demanding Congress choose only one
care component in the Build Back Better plan. MomsRising and the entire
Care Can’t Wait Coalition are fighting like hell for the FULL Build Back
Better Act, including Child Care for All, Paid Family & Medical Leave,
Home-and Community-Based Services, a permanent Child Tax Credit expansion,
living wages, and a path to citizenship for all care workers.
[ [link removed] ]We are coming together and powering up this critical week. RSVP NOW to
join us at the #CareWantWait Power Up gathering to advance the provisions
families, businesses, and our economy need to build a Care Economy.
We have a chance to make transformative changes for the better in our
nation. Be there to help make it happen.

Economy. Congress needs to prioritize families now!
In solidarity,
Kristin, Gloria, Namatie, Ruth, Nina, Nadia, Nate, Donna, Xochitl, Sili,
