Invest in Women

Each and every one of us deserves access to quality care because care is essential. Friend — Care is a cornerstone of our economy, at the center of our communities and everyday life. That’s why we must invest in and value care for the essential work that it is. Doing so can help create an economic recovery that is swift, equitable and benefits all of us.

Whether we’re parents or children or both, many of us are increasingly dependent on caregivers to nurture our children, allow us to work throughout the day to support our families, and provide crucial assistance to our aging and differently-abled loved ones. Care work makes it possible for women, who are most often tasked to take care of their families, to return to the workforce. That’s because care work makes all other work possible. The Care Is Essential campaign calls for a $400 billion investment in Medicaid to expand access to critical home care services for people with disabilities and aging adults so they can live with dignity at home, and address the home care workforce shortage by creating over 1 million new home care jobs and making care jobs good jobs with livable wages and benefits. At NDWA we believe that each and every one of us deserves access to quality care that allows us to run our lives efficiently and maintains the dignity and independence of aging adults and people with disabilities. We can make this possible by investing in those who care for our loved ones.
