@DrKaraAyers Congratulations Kara! So well deserved!

[Michelle Meade @MAMeadePhD]

We need to create meaningful changes in the way we structure, fund and think about care so that it does not mean women trying to do more in less time. #CareCantWait

[Caring Across Generations #CareCantWait @CaringAcrossGen]

Care responsibilities have pushed millions of women out of the workforce. We can get back to work when our loved ones have the care services they need. We need child care, paid family & medical leave, & long term services & supports. #CareCantWait #WorkingFamiliesNeedPaidLeave

@lisa_reber_ Very well conceptualized and written article Lisa. Congratulations!

[Michelle Meade @MAMeadePhD]

Powerful and important article by Dr. Reber, now finishing her postdoc at the IDEAL RRTC. Not disability focused but the concepts and methodology are certainly disability relevant. @UMDisabilityCtr

It's time to care about home care. Politicians have an opportunity to show that they learned that lesson by expanding access to home and community-based care and investing in the essential workers who provide it. https://t.co/JbGYDPT5g3 via @thehill

More than just a great commercial...

As a CODA, or “child of deaf adults,” Googler Tony has always shared a unique bond with his parents. But when the pandemic forced a physical distance between them, they found new ways — and a new reason — to stay close. 🤟

Members of Congress need to hear from #aging advocates on the importance of increased funding for #OlderAmericansAct programs and other critical aging services. Learn more about FY 2022 appropriations and access n4a-developed advocacy tools and resources: https://t.co/wT6qtB4k8B.

Including people with disabilities in the policy that will impact them is always the way to go.
