Care and Democracy - Family Values @ Work Action

Care & Democracy

Family Values @ Work Action works in partnership with our state coalitions to build political power among historically disenfranchised voters in the movement for care and caregiving, and other economic security issues, through public education and civic engagement strategies.

Vote4Care Are You a Care Voter?

Care Voters are everywhere! Together with FV@W Action partners across the network, we had conversations with more than 500,000 Care Voters in 2024.

Join us as we ramp up our outreach to Care Voters, continue the dialogue we started, and lay the groundwork for winning for families in upcoming elections.

Are you wondering if you are a Care voter? Well, you are if the following applies to you:

More likely to provide care for young children, be in the sandwich generation, have chronic conditions, and work as paid childcare or homecare workers and teachers.
More likely to support candidates who talk about and run on paid sick and safe days, paid family and medical leave, universal childcare and eldercare services.
More likely to support progressive policies and politicians who put people over profits and understand that the strength of our democracy is related to the ability of our families to thrive.
