Caregivers need your help.
Across California, caregivers have been on the frontlines of the pandemic. They’re working long hours, caring for our loved ones. So why aren’t we treating them like the essential workers they are?
We’re calling on California leadership to put an end to the low wages and disrespect caregivers face by implementing a $20 minimum wage for California caregivers.
This wage increase will help caregivers, who are most often women of color, care for themselves and their families without the heavy financial stress they’re currently facing. It will show them that our leaders value their work, and see how essential they truly are.

Throughout the past year, caregivers in California have gone above and beyond caring for our loved ones, sacrificing their time and health, and battling COVID outbreaks across the state. Even though they are essential workers, caregivers (who are predominantly women of color) aren’t being treated with the respect they deserve. It’s time to change that.
We’re standing with SEIU 2015 to call on California leadership to establish a $20 minimum wage for caregivers. Our caregivers are too often working long hours on top of caring for themselves and their families, and they aren’t even receiving living wages.
A $20 minimum wage would help uplift our California caregivers, show them the respect they deserve, and help boost our California economy.
Join us and support a $20 minimum wage now.
