Dear Supporters,

Thank you to the 448 signers who have stood with us to champion family caregiver protections! Your voices are making an impact, and together, we’re driving awareness and change for the caregiving community.

I invite you to read my latest article, “Championing Support for Family Caregivers: A Local to National Endeavor,” where I explore how Colorado can enhance the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) under C.R.S. § 24-34-402 to:

Recognize family caregiving as a protected status
Mandate workplace accommodations for caregivers
Prevent caregiver discrimination
Ensure enforcement mechanisms safeguard caregiver rights
These changes are inspired by legislation like Illinois HB 2161 and the critical need to address the 61% of Colorado caregivers who struggle to balance employment and caregiving, as reported by the Colorado Health Institute.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Please share this update widely so we can reach more people and continue to build momentum for caregivers everywhere.

Kindly,

Mark Fukae
