If you’re a caregiver, Medicaid cuts affect you too. Don’t just take it from us, take it from Vanessa Steil, a 2024 Care Fellow who is taking over this week’s #MedicaidMinute. Watch for more.

Today is World Cancer Day. A reminder to the rest of the world that we exist, and that we deserve better resources, research, and support. ❤️ Sending love and a big hug to the cancer community. 🫂 #WorldCancerDay
Our Care Fellowship is in its fifth year and we’ve proud to say we’ve graduated over 200 caregivers, care recipients, and care advocates in that time! Take a look at what just a few of our former Fellows have accomplished since the program.
New mantra: embrace what you can control. One of the things I can control is who I celebrate, & today that's @aijenpoo, who gave everything to fight for care this election. **Thank you** for helping us imagine a more caring future. It's a future worth fighting for.
Happy #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth to the 105.6 million caregivers across the U.S.!
We are so grateful for everything you do, and we won't stop fighting to support you!
(Be sure to keep an eye on our socials as we'll be sharing stories from caregivers, care recipients, and care advocates throughout the month.)

Happening NOW! VP @KamalaHarris on @TheView announces a new plan to help families afford care by having Medicare cover home care. Gamechanger for 105.6 million family caregivers, especially all of us caring for children too. 👏👏👏👏
#KamalaWillDeliverCare
Major news for #Seniors and #Caregivers out of the @KamalaHarris campaign—they proposed a new Medicare benefit to cover home care costs. Something that 93% of Americans thinks #Medicare *should* cover.

📢 BIG news: A new study released today found there are over 105 MILLION caregivers in the United States. That number has nearly *doubled* in the last ten years – and now over FORTY percent of us in this country are caregivers!
Taxes are a reflection of values, and our Federal dollars should be spent to lower costs to families by investing in #ChildCare#SeniorCare#DisabilityCare and #PaidLeave and we can pay for it, when the wealthy pay their #FairShare
"We need care infrastructure...Without these investments, 10s of millions of working caregivers and parents are making impossible choices between caring for their loved ones or working to pay the bills."
