Overview

About Caring Across Generations:


Caring Across Generations (CAG) is a national campaign working to make care more affordable and accessible at every stage of life, while making sure caregivers are treated with respect and dignity. Founded in 2011 by Sarita Gupta and Ai-jen Poo, our campaign is focused on creating change in three ways: organizing a powerful movement of the Caring Majority - the majority of Americans who are directly affected by the need for care, fighting for groundbreaking policy at the state and federal level, and changing hearts and minds through storytelling and cultural organizing. We were behind the historic win to extend federal minimum wage and overtime protections to home care workers. In 2017 helped pass the nationā€™s first Family Caregiver benefit in the state of Hawaii. And in 2018, helped Washington state create the nation's first universal public program for long-term care.Ā 


Since the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic, we have used our email platform to respond to Coronavirus by providing family caregivers with opportunities to make an impact, by sending timely and relevant petitions, action alerts, event invites, and a regular newsletter. Our community of email constituents has responded enthusiastically to a variety of engagements, and our digital campaigns during this time have had participation from activists, elected officials, celebrities, and family caregivers.Ā
