This isn’t the Medicaid news we wanted

John, I’ll be honest, the latest Medicaid news isn't good. I want to fill you in on what was announced just last week and what it could mean for millions of people. The Trump administration’s newly proposed rule to guide states in their roll out of Medicaid work requirements put care recipients, …

This is where you come in

John, If I could share one message right now, it would be this: Our movement might be facing unprecedented challenges - but I still have so much hope for the future of care. Since I started organizing for care over 25 years ago, I’ve seen incredible wins follow losses that felt insurmountable. At C…

Tell Congress: Invest in our care

John, When we are stretched thin caring for ourselves, an aging parent, or a disabled loved one, that’s not a personal failure. It’s a policy failure. It doesn’t have to be this way. A critical bill is being introduced in the House today that offers real solutions for home and community-based servi…

John, your story is the most powerful thing we have

John, Last week, thousands of us sent a clear message to our Governors: Our tax dollars should go to care, not tax breaks for billionaires, or attacks on our communities here and abroad. That was powerful. But this moment isn’t over. Right now, decisions are being made in your state about “wha…
