The purpose of this event is to amplify the work of the Women’s Bureau and the participating panelists in reducing the caregiver penalty and addressing the undervaluation of workers in the care economy. The Women’s Bureau will do this by creating a virtual space to advocate for the rights of care workers, discussing key policy recommendations and reforms, highlighting policy papers and short films that seek to shift the narrative around the care economy and its workers, and raising awareness of this day of action and how people can connect with it in their cities and states.
