Care work is not equal.
Together, Oxfam America and Prosperity Now are shedding light on the often invisible or underappreciated roles women play in the economy.
Women need more support. From equally shared caregiving to #PaidLeaveForAll #CareCantWait
Everyone should have access to what they need to raise a family—including child care. Yet finding & affording care is a huge financial & emotional stress.
We need to permanently fund child care to alleviate financial burden & stress for families & providers. #CareCantWait
The backbone of our democracy and our country is the middle class and those who aspire to it. As we Build Back Better, we must meet families’ home health care needs — and lift up the caregivers who meet them! #CareCantWait
Paid leave is about parents, it’s about children — and it’s about time!
Proud to join the #CareCantWait coalition to fight for #PaidLeaveForAll .
With Democrats’ Build Back Better agenda, we’ll fight for this vital benefit & get parents earning & children learning.
Unpaid labor, including care work for children & adults remains largely unseen & unvalued, despite its critical role in the economic & social fabric of our society.
This work disproportionately falls to women & women of color, help us shine a light on this & say: #CareCantWait
Women are forced to leave the workforce to provide care for their loved ones at an alarming rate. We are overdue for #PaidLeaveForAll & affordable childcare to help women-especially women of color have the choice to stay in the work force. For families & the economy #CareCantWait
