If we want the best economy in the world, we have to have the best caregiving economy.

But the cost of care is too high, and pay for care workers is too low.

Our nation’s caregivers are heroes – we need them – and under my budget, they're going to get the dignity they deserve.

It's not enough to praise our care workers, we have to pay them.

“All care workers deserve a living wage and good jobs.” Be a Hero

Amazing crowd here at AFT HQ for the #CareCantWait fireside chat! We’re thrilled to have Acting Secretary Julie Su, Katherine Clark, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren & more join us for this important event.

The words of the President of the United States. Powerful. #TheCareEconomy

Packed room for #Care CantWait town hall!

Sarah Jones opens up the morning with Acting Secretary Julie Su & Katherine Clark to discuss how investments in #ChildCare #PaidLeave #Aging & #Disability #Care and good pay for #Care Workers will lead to better outcomes for families & the economy

Love this so much Rachael King Be a Hero & Ai-jen Poo ❤️

These are the incredible leaders of the #CareCantWait coalition coming together to celebrate President Biden’ announcement today:

✅A child tax credit
✅Long-term care & family caregiving
✅National paid family & medical leave
✅ Affordable child care & universal preschool

It’s true. And care advocates will be organizing to ensure it is. ❤️

Any candidate who’s paying attention to voters would make it a priority. There’s not a kitchen table in America where care isn’t central. ❤️ #CareCantWait

Elizabeth Warren and top Democratic senators urged Biden health officials to crack down on private Medicare Advantage plans, arguing insurance companies overcharge the government by tens of billions of dollars a year trib.al/1rqoIMP

In honor of #NationalCaregiversDay , we honor caregivers like Izzy.

For almost four years, Izzy was part of the incredible team of nine caregivers that cared for Ady and helped make his life possible.

Listen to Izzy’s story. ❤️

Retirees who worked hard all their lives shouldn’t be forced onto healthcare plans that leave them in the lurch.

Folks from NYC and all over the country are standing up against the scam that is Medicare (Dis)Advantage).

Will you join us?

🗣️Health care is a human right, not a political fight! 🗣️

Marianne Pizzitola (Marianne Pizzitola), President of @NYCretirees, is exactly right: No one should be forced onto privatized Medicare (Dis)Advantage plans that delay and deny care to seniors and people with disabilities.

Watch…

Conservatives’ Project 2025 agenda would push seniors into private Medicare Advantage plans. Experts say it would spell an end to the traditional Medicare program, and its foundational premise: that seniors can go to any doctor they choose.

Ady had ALS and knew his time on this earth was limited. He used the time he had left to fight for healthcare justice for all and co-founded @BeAHero.

Ady never stopped fighting, and neither will we. #RememberingAdy

When it comes to the state of healthcare in America, Dr. King’s words still hold true today.

We will continue to fight every single day for the healthcare we all deserve.

Every funeral should have a blooper reel.

Will you join Ady in one last mic check?
