We’re counting down the days ‘til we’re reunited with the Take Me Home team.

Until then, we’re reminiscing on our time at #SundanceFilmFestival 2026. We brought disposable cameras to Park City and just got them developed!

Everyone will give or receive care at some point in their life. And our care system is currently falling short for everyone.

Hear what Senator Andy Kim shared about caring for his father during our “Why We Talk About Care” virtual event.

We are so grateful for his leadership.

Yesterday, our fight for care took us to Capitol Hill, where we took part in not one but TWO crucial events focused on uplifting caregivers and care recipients, and protecting and expanding our care.

We won’t stop fighting until we have the care we all deserve.

Not a fan.

Family caregivers already provide so much (over $1 TRILLION!!!) unpaid care each year! These cuts are devastating. We deserve better.

This makes Virginia the first state in the South to offer paid family and medical leave statewide. The Caring Across Generations logo is at the bottom.

3.2 million workers in Virginia will be able to take care of themselves and their loved ones without worrying about risking their jobs.

This is a landmark win, but it shouldn't stop at state lines. It's time for Congress to pass federal #paidleaveforall.
