More than 1 in 5 Americans are caregivers, and millions of disabled Americans need care. However, many professional caregivers are underpaid, and the 53 million American family caregivers are unpaid altogether. Disability justice requires a care economy that is created by and for disabled people, who both receive and provide care. Join this webinar on the importance of a care economy built upon disability inclusion, rights, and justice, and learn how philanthropy can support sustainable and equitable care infrastructures for people with disabilities.
Expert guests include:
- Anna Shireen Wadia, Executive Director, Care for All with Respect and Equity (CARE) Fund (Moderator)
- Maria Town, President and CEO, American Association of People with Disabilities
- Rahnee Patrick, Director of the Division of Rehabilitation Services, Illinois Department of Human Services
