We build political influence among marginalized voters to elevate care issues via advocacy.

Time to recover. Access to medical care. A paycheck that keeps coming.

We’re glad Congressman Tom Kean and Senator Mitch McConnell had time away from Congress to receive care. Every worker deserves time to care without putting our financial security at risk. Receiving that care doesn’t mean they’ve changed their positions on paid leave. We need to hear where they stand—and see action to match.

Rep. Kean and Sen. McConnell: Now that you’ve experienced your own medical crisis, where do you stand on paid sick days and paid family and medical leave? Will you support those protections for all of us?

A new baby. A serious illness. A loved one who needs us. Care comes for all of us, and the bills don’t pause when it does.

Paid leave should be there for ALL of us. 💜

We can have a real system of care. Not someday — if we elect CARE champions.

Paid leave. Child care. Elder care. None of it is out of reach. It’s a choice our elected leaders make, and a choice we make when we show up for the people who will pass it. Our network partners are voting for care this year. Vote wisely, vote early, vote for care. 🗳️

Save this and send it to someone who’s tired of waiting.

Trump’s tax law (HR1) shifted $4.5 trillion to billionaires, corporations, DHS and ICE, and gutted Medicaid, SNAP, and climate policies to pay for it.

That’s our money. It could have paid for health care. For child care. For paid leave. For elder care for our parents.

We want it back.

Our network partners are voting for care this year. Vote wisely, vote early, vote for care. 🗳️

Since March, this administration has tried to move control of your ballot to Washington. Monday night, the Supreme Court refused to let the new USPS mail-ballot rule take effect for the midterms — your ballot gets delivered the way it always has.

No federal clearance list. No new barcode. That's a win, and it isn't the end: the case is still moving through the lower courts, and this could come back for future elections. The one step that's fully in your hands right now is your registration. A move, name change, or inactive status can affect it.

Check yours today, then text this to someone you love. Deadlines vary by state.

Head Start helps children and families access early learning, health, nutrition, and family support. Now the Trump administration has proposed sweeping changes that advocates warn could undermine access, children’s learning, health, and safety.

Work should support a life—not consume it. This Labor Day, we honor working people and recommit to dignity, stability, and time to care.

While the world continues to mourn Dolly Parton, the woman who turned "9 to 5" into an anthem for working women, Women’s Equality Day reminds us that the fight for dignity, fair pay, and power at work is far from over.

Across racial and ethnic groups, women earn between 53¢ and 85¢ for every $1 paid to white, non-Hispanic men. Different numbers, but the same fight—for fair pay, paid leave, sick days, child care, and an economy that values every family.

This Women’s Equality Day, pledge to vote early and help elect leaders who will fight for working families: https://familyvaluesaction.org/take-action/

Connection is a form of resistance. 🚪

In a time of isolation and overwhelm, gathering together is a powerful act. Small gatherings have always sparked big movements — and this August, yours can too.

Host a House Party for Democracy: a small gathering, real talk about care + democracy, and real action. We give you everything — the guide, the conversation wheel, the action menu.

Don't just share — host. → familyvaluesaction.org/house-parties/

Who gets to work from home? Mostly women - and 45% of working moms (almost 70% of Black moms) are their family's breadwinner. Remote work isn't a perk. It's how families survive.

Comment CARE and we'll DM you the report + how to take action.
