I loved #GirlsState on Apple TV by Jesse Moss

If you or a Black birthing person you know had #DoulaCare during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum covered under Medicaid, rocket juju🚀 would love to hear from you for an article she’s writing! Reach her at craven (at) newamerica (dot) org #journorequest

.Congressman Seth Magaziner's decision to take paternity leave helps break the stigma around dads putting family first.

All families deserve this access, but for many, it’s out of reach. We're fighting for universal paid leave, so no one has to choose between a paycheck and their family.

What an extraordinary day! Five years ago we had many care advocates, but I don't think we could have described a care or care economy movement. Gratitude to all those below and so many others for their tireless and pathbreaking work. New Practice Better Life Lab Ai-jen Poo

Happy 100th Episode, #station19 ! Thank you for representing strong women at work, men who care, and people of all backgrounds making work and family work... work humor, suspense, drama, and love.

We’re on Capitol Hill for the #CareCantWait Town Hall! So proud to be joined by care workers, caregivers, care recipients, and care advocates from around the country, led by Ai-jen Poo and Sarah Jones.

Must watch!

We loved seeing Mayan and Quinten navigate work, family, household, and care on NBC Entertainment Lopez Vs Lopez in last night's pizza episode. It's rare that TV depicts working parents' challenges, and Debby Wolfe Mayan Lopez (with Danielle Fishel Karp directing) told the story!

This room today held the joy, determination, commitment and hope of care workers, advocates and President Biden -- all dedicated to fighting for #PaidLeave #ChildCare #HomeCare and quality #care jobs. #CareCantWait . #TheCareEconomy is the economy.

New from our staff writer Rebecca Gale! She explores how one West Virginia child care center benefitted from federal ARPA funds and what offerings had to be cut once the money disappeared for EdSurge.

To close out the day, Julie Kashen is moderating a conversation with Darrick Hamilton, Charity Wilson AFL-CIO ✊, latifalyles, and Amy Matsui about their dreams for and strategies to achieve racial and gender equity.
