We are looking forward to Special Guest Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib joining a panel of family caregivers, care workers, and folks directly impacted by health & family care issues to discuss building a truly equitable care infrastructure for the 21st century. Join us this Wednesday at 6PM for a community town hall & conversation around care at the Ernest T. Ford Recreation Center in Highland Park! #CaringMajority
People are living longer than ever; most of our elders and and many people with disabilities need care.
Bu nursing homes and institutions can be expensive and isolating, and very few want to live in one anyway. We know that aging and living in one's home - in one's own community - is preferred way to be cared for among people who need care. In fact, 90% of the population would prefer to age at home instead of in a facility.
Planning for long-term care is not just personal - it’s political.
We are excited to celebrate our work thus far as well as build and plan our efforts moving forward. This event will be a place to learn, get resources and connect with others who are in support for this movement. We will speakers from statewide disability and elder care groups as well as care workers. We will create together what it means to be in the Michigan Caring Majority.
This event will be a day of education with issue experts and skill building. Speakers will be addressing specific issues along with their personal experiences. Through panel discussions and group conversations we hope to educate, empower, and encourage women to take back their families, communities, and government!
Free child care, food and transportation from Detroit and Flint will be provided. Please register https://bit.ly/2yQWVNl
