We all depend on care. Today’s the day we talk about it.

Join us for the Day to Have Your Say and be one of 1 Million Care Conversations!

We want to hear what care is really like for you and what meaningful support would look like in your life.

Whether you’re caring for someone now, are thinking about caregiving in your future, or are just trying to take care of yourself, you have something to say about care.

This , we’re not just naming the crisis; we’re centering the solutions.

Black women experience maternal mortality at 3x the rate of white women. But the birth workers, doulas, and midwives closest to the crisis are leading the conversation, searching for answers their community needs.

We’re proud to share our 2025 Annual Report, "Rising to the Challenge." From grassroots organizing to policy wins—like our GI Blitz in Chicago and our largest Day Without Child Care —this report captures a year of building power in 40+ states with more than 150 grassroots partners. We know what’s possible when we organize to create a future where we can all thrive. The momentum is real, but we're just getting started. Join our community of generous donors who fuel this work at https://cca.is/c32025donation or go to our link in bio to help us build power from the ground up through 2026 and beyond.

Last week, over 80 grassroots allies from across the country gathered in Baltimore, Maryland, to reimagine a health system that actually works for all of us.

We spent two years building to this point -- having conversations with hundreds of people from every background and geography to learn what their communities need to be truly well. Now, our Powering Health Justice Blueprint, releasing later this summer, will share what we learned, define the areas we want to focus on, and lay out the steps to build power to win the change we need.

Last week's convening was the final step in this process, bringing together the people who helped us create this Blueprint for one last touchpoint before we share it with the world. Stay tuned for its launch!

14 years ago, Lalo marched for DACA. Today, he’s almost 40, with a family — still in limbo. Still can’t plan his life more than two years at a time. Still missed his daughter’s award ceremony because traveling isn’t safe.

The GOP just passed $70M for ICE and CBP instead of working on humane immigration policies that offer stability and safety.

He isn’t giving up.

“I’d rather live fighting for something,” said Lalo, reflecting what dreamers live with every day, but they deserve much more.
