Countdown to Our National Day of Action

Just seven more days until home care workers, employers and consumers
mobilize for a National Day of Action on Friday, September 21.


Even if you can't make a last-minute trip to Washington D.C., you can still help home care workers win the right to minimum wage and overtime pay.

1. Visit your elected representatives in your home state. We'll help you prepare for the meetings. Contact our national advocacy coordinator, Jessica Brill Ortiz, at (202) 236-4593 or [email protected] and tell her you want to help.

2. Donate to DCA. A donation of as little as $20 will help bring a direct care worker to DC.

Don't miss this opportunity to make your voice heard!
