.Izamar Barrios, rachael_king, and Carl traveled to D.C. in support of care and caregivers. We made a short video about the trip and the movement for care. Please watch and share. <3 #TheCareEconomy
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.
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
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
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. ❤️
🗣️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
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
I’ll be in Santa Barbara tomorrow talking Not Going Quietly (Not Going Quietly) with:
