Kamala Harris Mulls Over the Care Economy: Here’s a Starting Point.

The Power of Care: Kamala Harris and Melinda French-Gates Shaping a Vision

Recently, Vice President Kamala Harris and Melinda French-Gates have shown interest in a joint event focusing on the “care economy.” This signals a shift towards prioritizing care in our society. In the midst of the pandemic, the importance of care has become glaringly evident. The lack of a robust infrastructure for caring for ourselves and others has left many vulnerable.

Proposals for a public health corps emerged as a short-term solution to navigate the challenges of the pandemic and provide essential care. However, the crisis of care extends beyond the pandemic and has deep roots in our societal structures. The conversation around care is gaining momentum, with calls for policies that make care more accessible and equitable for all.

While the road ahead may be challenging, the dialogue on care is crucial for our collective well-being. By engaging in discussions and advocating for inclusive care policies, we can shape a future where care is at the center of a thriving society.
