For real, was a joy to read this book by Natalie Foster. Please everyone read it.

It's so rare to read about a big, visionary idea ... *from the perspective of the grassroots*. The organizers. The live battles.

By someone who can authentically tell that story. Kudos Natalie ✊🏽

There are currently 53 million unpaid caregivers in the U.S.

Ty Lewis, who cares for her elderly mother with Alzheimer's while also raising her own children, is one of them — and she has built a community for those who feel left behind and emotionally and financially drained.

About 80 million Americans are “sandwich” caregivers — including lisaling.

She shares how she and her husband care for their children and an elderly parent at the same time and how finances play a role in caregiving decisions for families in similar situations.

Part 2 CBS Mornings series on caregiving, just as potent & powerful as Part 1. Hope everyone will join me for Part 3. Thank you lisaling for this essential reporting.

Care workers like Elza make the world go round.

Like HHS.gov said, care workers deserve the support to be able to care for themselves and their own families.

This is the experience of 80 million Americans. This is what voters mean when they say we must address the economy.

If we center Care this cycle & follow through on our commitments, we will not only win this cycle, but working families will *feel* the relief they’re demanding.

“Care is to show love.' – Elza, home care worker.

We all want our loved ones to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be cared for as if they were a family member.

Care work is essential and those who provide care to our loved ones deserve our full support.

This is a BIG DEAL for seniors.

The Biden-Harris administration just announced new minimum standards for nursing homes.

The new rules require a minimum staffing level & for 80% of Medicaid dollars to go to workers’ salaries.

This will improve care tremendously.

April is CareMonth & this week is HHS.gov ! No one better to break down the meaning of care than the workers who show up every day to care for us. Thank you to all the Domestic Workers & care workers who do the work that makes our lives work.

Ai-jen Poo Qondi Vice President Kamala Harris President Biden I spoke w/ the Vice President Kamala Harris at an event & thanked her for all the administration's doing for Alzheimer's patients. She said, 'what we're doing, David' & that they were going to be announcing more. I've always wondered if it was this rule she was talking about! It's so needed.

🧵A thread my team and I put our hearts into:

Black and brown working families are demanding financial freedom this election cycle.

One way that can happen is by increasing the wages of care workers, largely women of color, who have been overlooked and dismissed for too long.

For too long, we have avoided the degree of need for aging & disability care in our country. Vice President Kamala Harris⁩ ⁦President Biden⁩ are turning the tide.
