The American workforce runs on family caregivers.

#CGUS data shows:
➡️ 1 in 4 Americans provides care.
➡️ 70% of caregivers work, yet 53% are hourly with little paid leave.
We need #PaidLeave now. No one should choose between a paycheck and family.

Join
@ToniGing from @NA4Caregiving on March 26 at 3pm at @NCRC #JustEconomy Conf for "Caring for Caregivers: Addressing the Enduring Economic Toll of Caregiving"! Did you know 53 million caregivers in the US provide $600 billion in unpaid care annually? https://t.co/sTBx5Edtt9

[A Better Balance @ABetterBalance]

With no national right to paid sick time or paid family and medical leave, too many women with health and caregiving needs are forced to take devastating pay cuts during life's most important moments. We need paid leave for all! #EqualPayDay

[Caring Across Generations #CareCantWait @CaringAcrossGen]

Equal pay would be life-changing for caregivers, many of whom are women of color.

"For the first time in 20 years, the gender wage gap has widened, with women paid 83 cents for every dollar that men make in 2023.” #EqualPayDay

[IWPR @IWPResearch]

No matter the job—nurses, financial managers, cashiers—women working full-time earn less than men per week. In 2024, women out-earned men in just 2 out of 131 occupations. The wage gap is real, and it’s everywhere. Read more: https://t.co/VqtHLf6av4

Today at @NHCouncil Hill briefing, patients & leaders of patient organizations discussed key health policy priorities: access & affordability, research & innovation, and protecting #Medicaid—a lifeline for millions of Americans & their caregivers. #HealthPolicy @NA4Caregiving

[National Alliance for Caregiving @NA4Caregiving]

An @ABC news story highlights the challenges family caregivers face reinforcing NACs research. From Ty Lewis, who joined 100+ advocates at our Caregiver Nation Summit, to Brandon Will’s journey, these stories show why protecting Medicaid is critical. https://t.co/Xe9NOjg83t

[DiverseElders @DiverseElders]

New Policy Brief! Medicaid is the primary source of support for millions of family caregivers, helping loved ones remain in their homes instead of institutions.

FMLA turns 32 this week. It’s been used 500 million times, but the U.S. still lags behind as one of 6 countries in the world that does not have a guaranteed, comprehensive paid family leave program nationally. #PaidLeaveForAll https://t.co/MoTme5S9ab

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

Medicaid keeps low-income veterans from becoming uninsured, and honors veterans who have complex health needs with consistent access to affordable care. Adults with disabilities receive support through Medicaid to cover health care costs (which are not covered by Social Security) so that they may work, attend school and live in their communities. #MedicaidMatters

[National Alliance for Caregiving @NA4Caregiving]

Our very own @ToniGing will be participating in @RareAdvocates first webinar of the year discussing policy priorities from a caregiver perspective. Tune in today at 1pm ET!
