To critically improve how care is provided in this country, the experiences of caregivers must be better understood. Thanks to President Biden, caregivers are finally being heard.

Today, the The White House hosted a convening for Care Workers Recognition Month & our Month of Action on Care.

My daughter Xiomara, and countless medically complex and disabled children like her, are alive today because of the ACA. From banning annual limits on care to protecting them from discrimination because of pre-existing conditions, the ACA saves lives.

On this day in 1987, Nancy Pelosi went from kitchen to Congress, blazing a path from homemaker to House Speaker.

As she was sworn in to represent San Francisco, her first words on the House Floor were that she came to fight HIV/AIDS. She never wavers in the fight for equality.

It has been proven time and time again: work requirements do not work. They add an unnecessary administrative burden and deny health care to those who need it most.

Ending the PHE is a Disaster
Marginalized people are once again being told the loss of our lives is inconsequential.
Lifting the PHE validates the public’s denial of the deadliness of COVID-19 and confirms to older adults, Disabled people & BIPOC that we are expendable!
