How Care Can Bring Our Country Together (Live from CareFest LA)

Gloria is live at CareFest in Los Angeles, presented by Caring Across Generations, to bring you a conversation among leading care advocates about the potential of the care agenda to unite a divided nation. She is joined by Lisa Hamilton Daly, the Executive Vice President of Programming for Hallmark Media; Mónica Ramirez, an attorney, author, and founder of Justice for Migrant Women; and Jenn Stowe, the Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. They talk about changing the narrative around care from being an individual problem to a collective responsibility, how we can get people across the political divide engaged on this issue, and how it all might play out in the next presidential election. Plus, Monica shares a historic update about the Farm Bill, and what it might mean for caregivers in rural America.  Presented by Neighborhood Villages.
