Urgent Update: Our Voices Are Growing! Plus, A New Series to Bust Caregiving Myths!

Dear Valued Supporters of the Federal & Colorado CARE Act,

A massive thank you to our incredible community! We've reached new heights with over 575 signatures and 516 dedicated supporters for the "Empower Working Caregivers: Enact Federal & Colorado CARE Act to Amend ADA & CADA" petition! Each one of your voices is helping us amplify this crucial message across Colorado and the nation.

 
New Blog Series Launch: "Caregiver Myth Busters"!
To further empower our advocacy efforts and shed light on the realities of caregiving, we're thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new blog series: "Caregiver Myth Busters." This series will tackle common misconceptions that often obscure the truth about caregiving and hinder vital progress.

We're kicking off the series with our first impactful post: "Caregiver Myth Busters: #1 – It's Not Just a Woman's Job." This article dives deep into the outdated belief that caregiving is solely a female responsibility, revealing that over 40% of caregivers are men, and their numbers are steadily growing! As a male caregiver myself, I understand firsthand how this myth impacts those of us doing this essential, often unpaid, work.

Your Ongoing Support is Critical
The need for the Federal and Colorado CARE Act remains urgent. As we push for policy changes that protect and support caregivers, every signature and every shared story strengthens our collective impact.

We also have some exciting changes coming soon! We're actively working on launching our new CASI (Caregiver Advocacy Support Initiative) website, which will serve as a central hub for our advocacy, resources, and for securely sharing your invaluable stories. We'll provide more details, including our Privacy and Story Sharing Policy, when the site is live.

 
Keep Sharing and Engaging!
Please continue to sign and share this petition widely with your friends, family, and networks. And be sure to read and share our new "Caregiver Myth Busters" series to help us spread awareness and challenge misconceptions.
