🚨🚨 NEW Op-Ed by our Advisory Board members Charlene Dickerson & Shantonia Jackson out NOW in @CommonDreams! Read their story about why it's past time for Congress to (finally) invest in care workers & families by passing the #BuildBackBetter Act💪🏾 (1/4) https://t.co/19yZRw2Se2
Congratulations to our own @Daniel_Bustillo, Exec Dir of the Healthcare Career Advancement Program, who was just selected to serve on the @USDOL Apprenticeship Advisory Council.
📸 Spotted: 2 of our Advisory Board members, Shantonia Jackson (CNA and member leader at @SEIUhciimk) & Charlene Dickerson (home care worker and activist in MA) among thousands of frontline #LTC workers calling on Congress today to invest in care. #CareIsEssential❗️
Long-term care workers are:
✅ 87% women
✅ 59% people of color
✅ 27% immigrants
This #Juneteenth, @HCAPinc is launching the @Center4Equity to center Black & brown #LTC workers impacted by occupational segregation & advance equity & job quality in LTC. https://t.co/8wURZxR0b7
🎆This #Juneteenth, @HCAPinc's new @Center4Equity ushers in a new era of innovative workforce policy aimed at disrupting the status quo to dismantle structural racism in the long-term care field.

Great piece by @BrigidSchulte & Cassandra Robertson of @newamerica that really brings home the critical role unions can play in improving the quality of #carejobs for both workers & their clients. @seiu775@HCAPinc#wkdev https://t.co/9Ryy0kZZcV
@caedgecoalition A9: This is a moment that demands change to avoid reinforcement & exacerbation of inequities. We can’t simply go back to what has not worked for so many. 2/2 #FlexLearningCA
@caedgecoalition A9: Equity frame to push needed institutional & public policy change & incentives. Center the needs of workers & adult learners to push system transformation. 1/2 #FlexLearningCA
@caedgecoalition A8: Healthcare is a sector where we have an obligation to expand options that better support workers & help facilitate access to good jobs, such as flexible learning, supported by an ecosystem focused on clear racial equity & job quality metrics. 3/3 #FlexLearningCA
@caedgecoalition A8: The COVID pandemic has also placed a harsh spotlight on the gender and racial inequities that exist in caregiving sectors. We have moral imperative to make different policy choices to help create more just outcomes. 2/3 #FlexLearningCA
@caedgecoalition A7: It makes sense that an increase in utilization of competency-based hiring should help facilitate expansion of flexible learning options. I agree with @RebeccaVHanson take on this! #FlexLearningCA
@caedgecoalition A6: But the pandemic has placed enormous strain on caregivers. The need for investment in flexible supportive services (childcare, transportation, housing, food access, emergency related needs) is urgent & can impede attainment. 3/3 #FlexLearningCA
