Families are under attack!
Stand up for security, justice, and economic freedom.
Our Mission
The Fight for Families and the Care We Need Can’t Wait.
We’re mobilizing for policy change that protects families, strengthens economic mobility, and holds leaders accountable.
Workers and caregivers should not have to choose between survival and care - our families deserve better.
Our democracy is built on the belief that everyone has equal rights. The right to vote is at the core and key to the care and economic justice we need. As we resist the attack on all of our rights we’re clear - the moment to act is now!—
2024 Care Voter File Analysis
Right now, we must exist in both places: Defending and protecting what we can while we plan for the future. In planning for the future, FV@W Action has completed the first descriptive analysis of the Care Voter File that a number of our state partners have been using since 2022 to build lists that speak to voters who are more likely to be supportive of care issues.
Over the last three years, we’ve had many questions about who we were actually reaching, how effective the model might be for identifying care voters and what future changes we should consider for deeper community and voter engagement.
The Analyst Institute helped us to answer some of these questions in this descriptive analysis of our 2024 work.

Key Issues
Policy changes aren’t optional—they’re urgent. We are fighting for: Paid Family & Medical Leave—Protect Caregivers, Protect Families
Paid Family and Medical Leave
Everyone needs paid time off at some point. Whether it's recovering from an illness, caring for a new baby, or supporting a sick family member, we shouldn't have to choose between care and paying bills.
Paid Sick and Safe Days
Everyone needs a few days off at some point to attend medical appointments or care for a sick family member. The need is especially vital when safety from domestic violence is at stake. Paid sick days can and should include “safe days.”
Child Care and the Child Care Workforce
Parents and families need child care to work, care for loved ones, recharge, and participate in their communities. Children deserve safe, high-quality care that supports their development.
Elder Care and Disability Services
At some point, we all need care, whether it's for ourselves or a loved one. Yet many people face the challenges of caregiving alone or have to choose between their job and caring for family. It shouldn't be so hard for anyone to get the care they need.
Reproductive Freedom
Deciding whether to have a child is a personal decision and fundamental for how we care for ourselves and each other. The person making this choice should have the freedom to decide and discuss it with those they trust.
Funding Our Families and Our Futures
Budgets are moral documents, and the choices we make reflect our values. We should all pay our fair share of taxes so the government can invest in what we need to thrive.
Real Stories, Real Impact
When we work together, we win.
