Family caregivers are an essential part of almost any care team, working hand-in-hand with the paid direct care workforce. We must strengthen and support this care team and today's Executive Order is an important step forward. Read the full statement: spr.ly/6017OO0pS

Today’s White House Executive Order recognizes the essential role that family caregivers play in our health and long-term care system.
This is a huge victory building on years of hard work by advocates and policymakers on both sides of the aisle.

This is a momentous day for older Americans. By passing the Inflation Reduction Act, Congress has made good on decades of promises to lower the price of prescription drugs. Many people said this couldn’t be done, but @AARP did not back down from the fight. spr.ly/6015zCswL

This is a historic moment. For over 60 years, @AARP has been working to lower prescription drug prices. Thanks to today’s Senate vote, millions of Americans 50+ are one step closer to real relief from out-of-control costs for medications. spr.ly/6013zfsxH

This leads to burnout and to women leaving the workplace. 😴 🥺 😫
