MOMentum is growing! Powerful leaders, organizations, storytellers, advocates, researchers, champions for change, and our Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner came together to work on FIXING the care & affordability crisis in DC this week.
What's that crisis?
- Child care costs more than college.
- Less than half of Americans can afford health care.
- We are one of only 6 nations on planet earth without paid family and medical leave after a new child arrives or a serious health crisis strikes.
- Elder care, disability care, home- and community-based services are too often out of reach.
- Care workers aren't paid living wages.
It doesn't have to be this way. Fixes are possible. Together – across organizations –
#CareCantWait met with leaders at the very top, talked solutions and are building toward change.
Thank you to repjeffries, repkclark, repjilltokuda, repaguilar, repadriano, and repcasar for leading our nation forward.
