Those closest to the problem are always closest to the solution. This new labor movement of domestic workers, including home care workers, are coming out of the shadows and organizing for the rights, respect, and pay they deserve. nyti.ms/2NC3d7g

What a night, Livonia! Our win, along with the many other outstanding victories for Democrats throughout Michigan last night, means that the people of this state have a genuine chance to influence the agenda. Thank you all so much. I won’t let you down.

Sharon cares for her mother. Padma Kuppa wants them to have more family care options. That's why Sharon supports @Electpadmakuppa for Michigan's 41st district state representative. vimeo.com/298589445

As 10,000 Baby Boomers reach retirement age every day, voters in Maine will soon consider the country's first universal home care program. But the proposal, and how it would be funded, are proving controversial. Economics correspondent @PaulSolman has the story.

Our seniors are the cornerstone of our communities. Their lives and wisdom were stolen from us. Our words matter. Our hearts matter. Our actions matter. We must lead with the bravery and compassion embodied in care. #TreeOfLifeSynagogue
