Hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. are waiting for child care assistance they qualify for, leaving parents to choose between work and their children’s care.

No one should have to make that decision. We need greater investments in child care.

Today, roughly one in four American adults is a family caregiver, and nearly all of us will give (or need) care at some point in our lives. Thank you to everyone who gives care. Drop a 🫶 below if you’ve cared for someone, or 🤲 if someone has cared for you!

Millions of people show up for care every day — increasingly as friends and neighbors, not just family. But FMLA doesn’t protect their job if they take leave to do it. Every kind of care deserves support, no matter the relationship.

On #InternationalDayofOlderPersons, we’re reminded that everyone deserves to live and age with dignity, choice, and independence.

We need a care system that supports all of us to live and age where and how we choose.

A poster with the text: "Most people want to receive aging and disability care at home and in their communities. But too many people face barriers to getting the care they need, including strict financial eligibility requirements, a lack of affordable and accessible housing, and difficulty finding care workers in an underpaid and undervalued workforce. We need a care system that gives everyone the choice to live and age where and how they want.” At the bottom, there's a banner that reads "International Day of Older Persons." The background shows a garden scene.

Child care now costs over $13,000 a year.
Grandparents are increasingly stepping in, but not every family has that option. We need real investment in a child care that works for everyone.

Text discussing childcare costs in the U.S. from Child Care Aware of America, stating the average annual cost for children under 5 in 2025 was $13,184. It mentions difficulties families face in securing childcare, often relying on grandparents. A quote from Nicole Jorwic of Caring Across Generations is included, emphasizing a lack of investment in childcare infrastructure.

Accessing the care you need shouldn’t depend on navigating a maze of paperwork and eligibility rules.

NYC Mayor Mamdani gave parents a break with free childcare at “Parents’ Night Out.”

Kids enjoyed games and dinner while parents got four hours off.

Every family deserves accessible childcare—keep it up, NYC!
