About this event
Caregiving is the backbone of our economy and society, but it’s often invisible, undervalued, and unsupported. Out of sight means out of mind for policymakers, bosses, and candidates — but storytellers from Family Values @ Work’s nationwide network will help change that.
Through powerful personal stories, we’ll explore the challenges and triumphs of working families navigating a system that too often makes caring for loved ones impossible.
Caring Out Loud is a night of first-person storytelling about working families caring for each other in a system that’s determined to make that impossible: Chosen family coming to a friend’s rescue after random violence. An uncle stepping in when a family tragedy strikes. A couple navigating the hard decision of who can go back to work after the birth of their baby. A new mom struggling to piece together work and child care. A parent trying to navigate emergency care for an adult son with life-threatening COVID complications. A worker sacrificing a much-wanted promotion to be with family during the loss of a beloved in-law.
This is an in person and virtual event.
