Honoring the work that makes all other work possible.
The foundation of a strong economy is a strong care economy – and the beating heart of the care economy are care workers. Our country needs more care than ever, but the care workforce is in crisis. Each year, four million children are born, and another four million turn 65. We simply can not wait to transform the care landscape.
That is why on April 18th and 19th, care workers from across the country will descend on Washington D.C. to sound the alarm and show us the way forward. The inaugural Care Workers Can’t Wait Summit brought to you by the National Domestic Workers Alliance, SEIU, AFL-CIO, AFT, AFSCME, Community Change, MomsRising, Care in Action, and Care Can’t Wait, is a historic convening of workers from throughout the care economy – childcare, aging and disability care, and all direct care – joining together with one voice for change.
Tuesday, April 18th 10am – 5pm
& Wednesday, April 19th 9am – 3pm
Salamander
1330 Maryland Ave SW
Washington D.C.
The Summit will feature plenary sessions with care workers, key decision-makers, and advocates. Discussions will include:
Care workers care for our aging family members and disabled loved ones so that they can live independently and with dignity. Care workers provide nurturing and enriching environments for our curious children to grow and learn. They power our economy, enabling family caregivers and parents to enter and sustain in the workforce. They deserve the ability to thrive. They deserve a place of dignity, respect, and recognition in our economy. The Care Workers Can’t Wait Summit is just the beginning. Join us.
