New Blog Post: Hidden Truths Series #5 – The Workplace Needlessly Increases the Caregiving Burden

As our petition gains momentum, it's crucial to shed light on the realities that drive our fight. We've just released the latest entry in our "Hidden Truths Series": "#5 – The Workplace Needlessly Increases the Caregiving Burden."

This post dives deep into how outdated "ideal worker" models and a lack of recognition in the workplace intensify the already immense load carried by employed caregivers. It exposes how caregivers are often treated as an invisible class and workforce, facing immense difficulty finding new jobs with the immediate benefits they desperately need, leaving them vulnerable and unprotected.

This is precisely why our petition is so vital! The challenges highlighted in "Hidden Truth #5" are exactly what the Federal and Colorado CARE Act proposals, which I am actively championing, seek to resolve by amending laws like the ADA and CADA to provide crucial anti-discrimination protections and workplace accommodations for caregivers.
