Illinois Caring Majority

[Josephine Kalipeni @malawian81]

Over a quarter of all #caregivers are #sandwichgen caregivers. Usually undoing, usually more diverse, and usually newer to #caregiving. #caringmajority

[Josephine Kalipeni @malawian81]

What does #sandwichgen #caregivers look like? It can be someone simultaneously caring for a spouse & a parent. Someone simultaneously caring for their adult child & their grandchild. Check out the new report from @CaringAcrossGen & @NA4Caregiving for more https://t.co/6klCp0peiL

How do we know #caregiving is a uniting issue across race? B/c we did a poll: https://t.co/LMZZp0MU6W! And because we live the reality daily! And b/c we talk to #caregivers. Oh- and b/c we did a report: https://t.co/6klCp0GPHl! The demand is clear: support #caregivers NOW!

CA made history today by designating gig economy workers as employees, meaning they can receive minimum wage and benefits. “Let’s be clear: there is nothing innovative about underpaying someone for their labor.” - @MariaEDurazo https://t.co/rLtB80GJeo
