Care in Action Inc (c4)
Organization Description
Care in Action (501(c)(4)) is the advocacy home for women who care. We invest in building political power for women of color and domestic workers to ensure they have the economic support they need to thrive. Our successful track record of organizing voters extends over 6 years in crucial battleground states across the Sunbelt region, helping to deliver electoral and policy wins.
2026 Programs
Since 2018, Care in Action has built political power for working-class women of color and care workers across the South. After mapping resources, legislative priorities, and partnerships, we identified where we can have the most distinct impact on care and be most effective electorally in 2026: 1) flip and defend the US Senate seats in NC and GA; 2) build durable power in VA and SC; and 3) pilot the care model in PA and NY. In these states, we’ll defend Medicaid HCBS, protect care workers, and mobilize our base through DVC, lobby days, media campaigns, and district-level actions.
2025 Programs
Care in Action builds power to defend care workers and women of color. In 2025, we’ll fight to protect Medicaid, defend wage gains for workers, and counter anti-immigrant policies. At state and local levels, we’ll advance Domestic Worker Bill of Rights and HCBS campaigns, and mobilize resources to meet urgent needs. Through digital organizing and rapid response, we’ll expand our movement, mobilizing WOC to win transformative change and build lasting political power in our communities.
2024 Programs
Care in Action organizes to ensure that Care is top-of-mind in elections. We mobilize our base of women of color voters through year-round basebuilding, focusing on direct voter contact and community care events. Through endorsements and policy advocacy, we demonstrate the link between electoral victories and impactful policy changes.
