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.  #CareCantWait
