Thank You to Over 500+ Supporters! And a New Article to Fuel Our Advocacy!

Dear amazing supporters of the Federal and Colorado CARE Act Proposal,

We are so incredibly grateful for your support! Thanks to 482 dedicated supporters and over 537 signatures (and every single person who has engaged with this petition), we are building powerful momentum to advocate for the rights and recognition of working caregivers in Colorado and beyond. Your signatures are a clear declaration that change is needed!

To keep this momentum going and provide you with more insights into why this advocacy is so crucial, we're excited to share a new article from our "Caring for Change" blog series on the Professionals Who Care website.

The latest post is titled: "Caring for Change: Beyond the Personal — Framing Caregiving as an Economic Imperative."

In this article, I share my personal journey as a working caregiver that ignited this advocacy, and delve into why we must fundamentally shift how society views caregiving. We explore the concept of the "care economy" and reveal the surprising, massive economic value of unpaid caregiving – highlighting that supporting caregivers isn't just a social issue, but a smart economic investment. Understanding this reframed perspective strengthens our case for the very protections and accommodations this petition is fighting for!

Reading this article will equip you with more context and compelling arguments to share with others.

Thank you again for standing with us. Every signature, every share, and every conversation helps. Please continue to share this petition with your networks – let's grow our collective voice even louder!

Kindly,

Mark Fukae
