To address the gap between the care families need and the dignified jobs care workers deserve, a movement has emerged like never before, building power and political muscle to demand bold public investments. The webinar dove into recent polling research that shows how care is a unifier across gender, race, and party identification. Funders, funder collaboratives and philanthropy-serving organizations also heard from experts in the field who have direct experience organizing communities to achieve innovative care policies.

This free webinar was hosted by Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation and presented by Care for All with Respect and Equity (CARE) Fund, Raising Child Care Fund, and Early Childhood Funders Collaborative.
