ALT ?Child care, paid leave, and long-term supports and services are vital to a strong economy that serves all our families. President Biden?s announcement today is a crucial step in bringing federal support to millions of caregivers and the families who depend on them. Every single one of us needs care at some point in our lives. It?s time for our policies to recognize that care is foundational to our society. The people providing care to children, seniors, and people with disabilities are overwhelmingly women?disproportionately women of color and immigrants?who have been undervalued and underappreciated for too long. That?s why we particularly appreciate the executive order?s focus on job quality among caregivers. The Biden-Harris Administration is doing its part; Congress should step up and provide the funding necessary to support a comprehensive care agenda,? Indivar Dutta-Gupta, president and executive director, Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP).
