Tune in to the opening panel of the National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis, recorded live at the the US Library of Congress in Washington, DC. We learn how Representative Jimmy Gomez started the Congressional Dads Caucus. Next, we dive into how care candidates and care policies are winning at the state and local level. We discuss how the paid and unpaid work of care is both individual and invisible and why we should treat is as a core public good. Then, we hear about the importance of connecting caregiving to family budgets and the impact of care on multiple generations. We also discuss the importance of public demand in driving policy change and the need for elected officials who reflect and respect our contributions and needs.
