More than 1 in 5 Americans are caregivers. Many disabled Americans need care: approximately 7% of U.S. adults have an independent living disability, and 3.6% of U.S. adults have a self-care disability. However, many professional caregivers are underpaid, and the 53 million American family caregivers are unpaid altogether. Disability justice requires a care economy infrastructure that is created by and for disabled people, who both need and provide care.

View this webinar co-sponsored by the Care for All with Respect and Equity (CARE) Fund featuring disabled panelists discussing how philanthropy can support care infrastructure for people with disabilities.

This webinar was moderated by Anna Shireen Wadia, Executive Director of ‪@thecareforallwithrespectan4954‬ and featured as panelists:
