America is aging, and home care will be increasingly essential. Congress has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in the long-neglected home care workforce. Let's see that $400B investment Biden called for. #InvestInCare
FACTS: Home care workers are primarily women, 62% are people of color, and with a median income of $16,200, they are paid one of the lowest wages in the country. We must right these wrongs. #InvestInCare
Congress: *Listen to Rena* Invest $400B in the home care workforce so that she can earn what she deserves. She deserves it and so do the families she cares for. #InvestInCare
Sen. Ron Wyden, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, supports transformational change in how we treat #caregivers. ✅Livable wage for home care workers ✅More support to family caregivers ✅A special priority #InvestInCare
Investing in the home care workforce is a no-brainer. Our families need it. Our communities need it. The underpaid workers need it. Congress: Fully fund Biden's proposed $400B plan & create 1 million new quality jobs! #InvestInCare
When Congress invests in home care, the amount must be high enough that states aren't forced to choose between raising wages & expanding services. We urge Congress to #InvestInCare at the $400B level. Our families & workers deserve it. #InvestInCare
By 2028, we’ll need to fill 4.7M new care jobs. But it’s hard to attract workers if the jobs pay poverty wages, come with inadequate benefits and without the choice to join a union. Congress must step up & #InvestInCare! Get it done. #InvestInCare
The problem is simple: when care workers aren't respected, protected and paid, we can't give those we care for the support they need. Congress needs to fully invest Biden's proposed $400 Billion in the home care workforce. #InvestInCare
Care workers like Martha in Durham, NC can't wait any longer for Congress to pass a $400B investment in care. Home care workers need good union care jobs and fair wages. They deserve it, and so do the families they care for. #InvestInCare

A robust investment in care jobs is critical to rebuild our economy, advance racial & gender equity, and make it possible for older adults & people with disabilities to live in their own homes & communities. Congress must act. #InvestInCare
Home care jobs are grueling & underpaid, leading to high turnover. But home care is very in-demand. We have to invest Biden's proposed $400B to expand the workforce & make wages livable, so that our families get the quality care they deserve. #InvestInCare
We need jobs, care, AND justice. Congress can make this happen: Pass a $400 billion investment in home & community based services, providing access to care for 1 million Americans while creating a million new good paying jobs. #InvestInCare
Nationwide, Home care workers make an average of just $12/hour, and many family caregivers care for their loved ones for free. @JanSchakowsky FIGHTS for the Better Care, Better Jobs Act to give more support to home & community care. #InvestInCare
