@debbiedingell.house.gov and our executive director @aijenpoo.bsky.social are calling on Congress to act to make care more accessible. A newly introduced act would strengthen access to care and invest in the care workers who make it possible. bit.ly/4uDiZSR

For @19thnews.org: @errinhaines.bsky.social profiled @domesticworkers.bsky.social organizer Adriana George. “I don’t like to see injustice around me…I’m fighting for workers to know they deserve better. Domestic workers do the work that makes all other work possible.” 19thnews.org/2026/05/revo...

She cared for America's children. She's also reshaping our democracy.

Adriana George lived and witnessed injustices while working as a nanny. In the spirit of our founding principles of freedom and equality, she's now working to expand the rights of domestic workers.

Millions of aging Americans and people with disabilities want to live independently but can’t access the care they need.    Rep. Horsford moderated a panel on expanding home and community-based services so people can age and live with dignity in their own communities.

No one should have to choose between their job and caring for the people they love.    Rep. Pettersen moderated a discussion on building a national paid family and medical leave program so every worker can take time to care for a new child, a sick family member, or themselves.

Aging Americans and people with disabilities deserve the dignity of living safely and comfortably in their own homes.    We need real solutions to bring down costs and make home- and community-based care affordable for the millions of Americans who depend on it.

Care workers hold our communities together, yet too many are underpaid and undervalued.  I moderated a conversation on strengthening the care workforce by improving wages, benefits, and career pathways across child care, home care, and health care.

70% of private-sector workers still don’t have access to paid leave.    Having a baby, caring for a sick parent, or recovering from an illness shouldn’t push families out of their jobs or into debt.

Child care costs are skyrocketing, and families are paying the price.    Rep. Derek Tran led a panel on expanding access to high-quality early childhood education and lowering costs so parents can work while knowing their kids are safe, learning, and thriving.

63 million Americans provide family caregiving, not as a profession, but out of love and responsibility for their families.    They shouldn’t have to do it alone. It’s time to build a system that supports caregivers the way they support the people they love.

A strong piece from @citizencohn.bsky.social @thebulwark.com on what terminating temporary protected status for Haitian immigrants will mean for long-term care and the families who rely on it. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-atta...

New Yorkers built a movement around the belief that every family should be able to afford a dignified life. Today, as Governor Kathy Hochul and I mark our commitment to universal childcare, we're proving that a movement of the people can transform how government serves the people.

Universal child care is coming to New York.

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family. Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones. I hope you’ll join me.

This video is devastating. Imagine dropping your child off at daycare, only to learn that ICE took a beloved caregiver in front of the children minutes after. Imagine going to work to care for beloved children, only to be ripped away from them and your own family by ICE.

The taking of neighbors in communities around the country is so horrific. And, right here - how can anyone justify this - violently taking a child care teacher out of her classroom? Enraging is too weak a word to describe this. #Momsky activate.
