LA CRC

At the Los Angeles Caregiver Resource Center (LA CRC), we support family caregivers in LA County who help an adult relative or friend (over the age of 18) affected by chronic and debilitating health conditions. Are you a caregiver? Connect with us at losangelescrc.org 💻

Thank you advocates, legislators and Governor Newsom for supporting these important changes! These bills will make it possible for more Californians to care for themselves and their loved ones!

Thank you to everyone who worked hard on this legislation, crafted it @SenMariaEDurazo and thanks to @CAgovernor for your support

.@CAGovernor, please sign #AB575! Children in kinship families deserve to benefit from #PaidFamilyLeave too! As of 2021, nearly 250,000 CA children were being raised by family other than parents outside of the formal foster care system. grandfamilies.org/Portals/0/Stat…

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Most of us play vital roles as caregivers to loved ones. But CA law doesn't shield workers from caregiver-based discrimination. Take action to ensure equal treatment with #AB524 #StrongerCA @equalrightsadv @WorkFamilyCA @caringacrossgen @buffywicks actnow.io/Q2oxkgM

"Many states and local jurisdictions are leading the way; at least 84 areas have passed laws prohibiting workplace discrimination against caregivers." Let's not fall behind! California can support caregivers by passing #AB524. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

The Family Caregiver Anti-Discrimination Act, #AB524 (@BuffyWicks), passes out of the California State Assembly! The Work & Family Coalition is proud to cosponsor this essential bill for caregivers 🫂

Expanding the definition of “family” to extended and chosen family supports the growing aging population and reflects the reality of many caregivers. California can address the gaps in its #PaidFamilyLeave program with #AB518 (@BuffyWicks). harvardpublichealth.org/health-policy-…

FCLCA supports #AB524!
