April is Care Workers Recognition Month. Yesterday, I held a roundtable with members of @seiuva512, @careinactionus, Domestic Workers and Dreamer Mothers in Action to celebrate the Biden-Harris Administration’s actions to strengthen the care economy and what more must be done.

From child care to aging care and disability care –– we all will give and receive care throughout our lives.

Let’s show up for ourselves and our communities and vote. Because when we vote, care wins.

🧵A thread my team and I put our hearts into:

Black and brown working families are demanding financial freedom this election cycle.

One way that can happen is by increasing the wages of care workers, largely women of color, who have been overlooked and dismissed for too long.

What care in action looks like 😍

Care advocates, organizers and leaders continued to change the game and set the stage on care in D.C. for this year’s #CareWorkersRecogntionMonth .

Care champion Rep. Pramila Jayapal sat with domestic worker organizers in D.C. for an important discussion on the need for care infrastructure in our economy.

Let's keep the conversation going. #CareWorkersRecognitionMonth

That's my Senator!!!

And shout out to Domestic Workers, Care In Action, SEIU and so many incredible partners for making Care Worker Month a reality.

It’s the anniversary of President Biden Executive Order on care and women of color have been celebrating and advocating to ensure domestic workers and our families have the resources and protections we need to care for ourselves. Check out this thread to see how we’ve been taking action!

Voters care about CARE! D.C. have you spotted these yet? 👀

Georgia faces a dire shortage of care workers, an ever-growing aging population, and deeply underpaid care workers.

This is a crisis and Gov. Kemp has the opportunity to begin mending the cracks in our care system.

It's time to pull back the curtains and show the generations of domestic work that have been put into this economy without the pay and protection deserved.

Domestic work is real work.

Happy #CWRM ! 🎉

All month long, Care in Action has been celebrating care leaders, advocates and workers who have fought for domestic workers' rights. As we reflect on our #CareWins , we fight forward to ensure that EVERY care worker has the pay and protections they deserve.

Executive Director Hillary Holley joined care workers, care leaders and President Biden at the Rally for Care in Washington D.C. and spoke about the need to prioritize care for working families and why the care agenda is what we all want in 2024 and beyond. #TheCareEconomy

Care workers are The White House to celebrate #CareWorkersRecognitionMonth !

Follow along live and hear more about President Biden's plan to fight for the care workers and the care we need. youtube.com/watch?v=DjIDu1…

Through the first-ever Care EO signed by President Biden last year, as well as through the American Rescue Plan and the CHIPS and Science Act, this Admin is making transformational investments in child care, home care, paid family and medical leave, and tax cuts for workers and families.

“My budget for next year makes key commitments to children, seniors, people with disabilities, and caregivers who look after their loved ones,” - President Biden said at the Care Week of Action rally in D.C. on Tuesday. #TheCareEconomy

Our Care Week of Action continues with our Care Townhall!

Today, we spoke to members of Congress who have a plan and are ready to fight for the care investments we need.

Appreciate the incredible leadership of Jillian Mercado and Ai-jen Poo building and growing a powerful movement for a care infrastructure that lifts our families, care workers, businesses, and the economy! #CareCantWait #TheCareEconomy
