Outrageous. Unconscionable. https://nwlc.org/press-release/nwlc-on-trump-saying-he-wont-fund-child-care-health-care-because-of-war/ A few words fro our network partner, National Women's Law Center 😑

Honoring the legacy of the Memphis Sanitation Strike (April 16) and the call “I Am A Man.” Sharing moments from Black #Labor Week, where that fight for econ justice continues. We're proud to support this convening and those building what’s next. 🙏🏽 Ephrin “EJ” Jenkins. #iamaman

Our first grants of the year are on the way to our amazing network--and we can't wait to see what our grantees do this year to change America's #care landscape for the better! 🥰 https://familyvaluesatwork.org/family-values-work-announces-400000-in-grants-to-advance-care-campaigns-across-12-states/

😒 "this plan for America’s families recommends programs like marriage boot camps ...not policies that have been empirically shown to encourage family growth and stability..." like paid leave! https://sojo.net/articles/opinion/project-2025-has-been-disaster-heritages-family-agenda-might-be-worse

Great to see our friend Dave Bolotsky, founder of Uncommon Goods, continuing to champion equitable paid leave for all in New York through this powerful op-ed. Paid leave supports workers, businesses, and communities https://www.amny.com/opinion/new-yorks-paid-medical-leave-law-small-businesses/

For every dollar a white man earns, the average woman earns just 81 cents for the same work. That gap adds up to less security, fewer savings, and harder choices over a lifetime. When unequal pay is compounded by lack of paid leave, it pushes too many families toward financial instability. #EqualPay

14 states and DC have passed paid family leave laws, allowing nearly one-third of the nation’s private sector workers to be covered--victories are driven by our network members! #timetocare https://patch.com/minnesota/across-mn/state-mandated-paid-leave-programs-now-cover-millions-american-workers

Big news from Virginia! Their legislature passed paid leave and paid sick time -bringing lifesaving care policy to workers. H/T @vainterfaith.bsky.social @teamfreedomva.bsky.social #care #paidleaveforall https://familyvaluesatwork.org/fvw-celebrates-virginias-paid-leave-and-paid-sick-days-victory/

We can't say we are a nation that cares about family when so many are unable to afford or access child care. #childcare https://www.the74million.org/zero2eight/a-child-care-paradox-families-on-waitlists-centers-underenrolled/

The real “state of the union” isn’t the stock or crypto markets — it’s the state of care. If families can’t afford child care or take paid leave, our economy isn’t working. Read more 👇 #SOTU https://familyvaluesatwork.org/the-state-of-the-union-is-the-state-of-care/

At some point in our lives, each of us will need to give care — or receive it. If you needed to take time off today to care for yourself or a loved one, could you afford to? #caregiver https://apnews.com/article/work-career-aging-caregiver-benefits-1f287e40a206e1a7f0012b5146b81713

We’re cheering on advocates in Virginia this week as they move forward on their paid leave journey. Every step forward brings working families closer to the time and support they deserve to #care. https://virginiabusiness.com/virginia-dems-pass-bills-for-family-medical-and-paid-sick-leave/

Congratulations to Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-12) and the Mamas Caucus for championing this critical effort. We’re rooting for its success. #headstart #care https://www.michiganpublic.org/politics-government/2026-02-20/michigan-congresswoman-rashida-tlaib-introduces-bill-to-expand-head-start

We commend Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for reintroducing the Healthy Families Act, legislation that would establish paid sick time for all. https://www.oneidadispatch.com/2026/02/21/gillibrand-colleagues-give-paid-sick-leave-to-american-workers/

Care is how we keep communities safe. https://19thnews.org/2026/02/minnesota-mutual-aid-caregiving-ice-resistance/

#PaidLeave would help all Virginians – not only new parents, but also families with elder care needs. Every working person at some point needs time away from work to give or receive care. All eyes on Virginia for making the next move! https://bit.ly/4jzpTUC

The Administration is putting children, families, and providers at risk—destabilizing families, threatening the closure of small child care businesses, and damaging our broader economy, all while doing nothing to address the ongoing child care crisis. #FundChildCare https://n.pr/3YXIrEG

Big change for Delawareans happened on January 1! Shout out to the advocates on the ground in the First State and at Delaware Cares for getting this info out.

Without federal #childcare funding, thousands of Minnesota families will be without childcare. That's thousands of parents that cannot go to work. That's thousands of jobs that will not get done. It affects all of us. Tell your legislators! https://bit.ly/ReleaseCCFunds

You have hours left to make a tax-deductible donation and power the care movement into 2026. Our network has launched paid leave programs, grew paid sick time, and expanded family definitions across 27 states. Now, we focus on the 63 million who are still excluded. https://bit.ly/4s2Q7Tj

Millions of families rely on ACA tax credits to afford health care and those savings are at risk. Tell Congress: protect the ACA tax credits that keep care within reach. Contact your reps with a few quick clicks ➡️ https://bit.ly/3MILGNp

63 million Americans still don't have access to paid leave. Our 2026 goal is clear: expanding access where programs exist and launching new policies in communities where families are waiting. Can you power our first steps into the new year? https://bit.ly/2rFd8z2

Health care shouldn’t disappear because of political gridlock. ACA tax credits lower costs and expand access. Congress must act to save them before the end of the year. https://bit.ly/3MILGNp

Workers in the Badger state need time to care! And now that opportunity is getting closer for Wisconsin families.. #PaidLeaveForAll https://bit.ly/4pGL2yp

Affordable health care is our right. Without ACA tax credits, millions could lose coverage and/or face skyrocketing costs. Demand Congress to act before December 31 ➡️ https://bit.ly/3MILGNp

Many people work part-time so they can take care of their families. But that shouldn’t mean they get paid less than full-time workers for doing the same job! It's time for a change. Join us in supporting the #PartTimeWorker Bill of Rights.

"My job at the restaurant is how I feed my kids and put a roof over our heads… My employer’s scheduling practices make it extremely difficult for me to have steady, predictable hours and income." Working parents like Alma need the #SchedulesThatWork Act. https://bit.ly/44RyM6b @abetterbalance.org

Today @warren.senate.gov @delauro.house.gov and @schakowsky.house.gov reintroduced the #SchedulesThatWork Act and the #PartTimeWorker Bill of Rights Act to make sure workers get the fair treatment they deserve at work, with a predictable schedule and a reliable paycheck.

We were in good company last week at CareFest by @caringacross.org! It was an incredibly important and inspiring convening of care champions and leaders sharing their vision for the future of care in America.

People. Purpose. Power. brought together a mix of economic justice advocates, Texas locals, and national leaders focused on protecting democracy. The event was focused on protecting democracy and thinking about how to move people to act in an environment that wants us paralyzed.

The long term safety of Native women corresponds directly with financial independence; but with huge wage inequities and a lack of systemic support, there is a barrier to provide necessities for themselves and their families, making it difficult to leave abusive situations. #NativeWomensEqualPay

Lasting impacts of colonialism, genocide, and state-sanctioned violence on Native communities continues to be felt today. Native Americans face higher rates of poverty, unemployment, and violence. #NativeWomensEqualPay #EquityForNativeWomen

On #NativeWomensEqualPay, we are bringing attention to the fact that Native American women continue to have one of the most significant wage disparities in the US. Currently, Native women who are full-time year round workers only make 58 cents on the dollar compared to non-Hispanic, white men.
