We’re not in the clear — for Congress to seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a care economy that benefits all workers, we need to make sure the largest investment in Medicaid and HCBS is included in the final budget.

Write to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer today and urge him not to cut care workers from the final budget package.

Send a Letter

To create good jobs for care workers and ensure that our loved ones have the services they need to live with dignity, we need Congress to keep Biden’s full $400 billion commitment to care — the largest possible amount — in the final budget.

About the “Communities of Care” Art Installation

We will end the march at Freedom Plaza with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to launch a new art installation featuring portraits of family caregivers and care workers with the individuals they provide care for. The launch will include a speaking program with care workers, consumers, supporters, and Members of Congress.

Location: Freedom Plaza, Washington, DC

Event Details

NDWA, Caring Across Generations, Hand in Hand and the Care Can’t Wait coalition worked with artist Paola Mendoza to produce the “Communities of Care” art installation. Running from July 13th-17th at Freedom Plaza in Washington DC, this installation, created on a map of the United States, will transport the audience into the reality of care that takes place in our homes and communities, showcasing the beauty of that care while also portraying its challenges, and making a case for investment in a robust care infrastructure that can support home- and community-based care for all.

• Where use of your information is necessary to perform our obligations to you;
• Where use of your information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others (for example, to provide security for our Website; to provide the services we provide through our Website; to defend our legal rights; to analyze the use of our Website; to improve our services);

Children’s Privacy

The Website is not intended for children under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have collected information from children under the age of 16, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as practicable.

Third-Party Links and Websites

The Website contains links to third party websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites.

Your California Privacy Rights

California law permits visitors who are California residents to request certain information once per year regarding our disclosure of “personal information” (as that term is defined under applicable California law) to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

Notice Concerning Do-Not-Track Signals

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT. You can learn more about Do Not Track here.

Domestic workers have been organizing to win increased protections at the state, federal, and international levels for generations. International Domestic Workers Day marks the anniversary of the 2011 passage of the International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention 189 for Decent Work for Domestic Workers, establishing international labor law for domestic workers. Since its passage, domestic workers have used this day to honor the vibrancy of the leadership of domestic workers in the fight for better protections across the world, including across the United States. NDWA is proud to stand in solidarity with workers who make all other work possible in the U.S. and around the world and to be a part of the global domestic workers movement.
