Calling All Wednesdays! Today’s Calls: Tell Sen. Manchin to Keep CARE in the Infrastructure Bill

TODAY’s CALLS: Tell Senator Manchin to Keep CARE in the Infrastructure Bill! (202) 224-3954

 

The Care Economy is built on a foundation of paid and unpaid services that include health care, childcare, early childhood education, disability and long-term care, home care and elder care.

 

Lack of care facilities or affordable care services means many cannot work while also taking care of their loved ones. Most of those that are employed by care industries, predominantly women and people of color, are not earning a livable wage.

 

President Biden’s proposed infrastructure bill helps support care workers and care services by investing in them, expanding the number and size of facilities, raising wages and benefits for care workers, and so much more.
