We need more quality care jobs that ensure financial security, sustaining wages and benefits, and opportunities for advancement. How should a “good job” be measured in the care sector? @HCAPinc's “Good Jobs Measures” toolkit has a roadmap: tinyurl.com/goodcarejobs @Center4Equity

This week, we recognized #NationalBlackWomensEqualPayDay. As we continue the fight for pay equity for Black women across the US, we cannot leave domestic workers behind.
Domestic work makes all other work possible, and it’s time to pay us accordingly.

As the academic year begins, we want to remind everyone to #citeblackwomen! Whether it be in your research or in your syllabi, a lot is missed when the intellectual contributions of Black women are left out. We are dynamic producers of knowledge, within and BEYOND the academy!

Spoiler alert on this report: @Center4Equity recommends a #BlackWomenBest approach to resolves the #CareCrisis (and we agree 👍🏿)
Our new report shows how government agencies could lead the way to create a system that works with workers and communities — especially since public, taxpayer dollars largely finance direct care workers’ wages. Check it out for more details tinyurl.com/mssfaxus
