Driving Care Forward: Fuel the Care Can't Wait Bus Tour

Support the Care Can't Wait Summer Bus Tour: A Journey to Transform Care for All

At Caring Across Generations, we understand that care is a universal need, touching everyone at some point in life. Yet, too many are forced to navigate care challenges alone or turn to platforms like GoFundMe to cover services that should be guaranteed by systemic change. It shouldn’t be this hard.

That’s why we’re partnering with GoFundMe on our Care Can't Wait Bus Tour, to amplify the stories of those affected by lack of access to care and engage people all over the country in the push for a care system that truly meets the needs of all families. Together, we can ensure that everyone can care for their loved ones, improve quality of life, and age with dignity.

Who We Are: Caring Across Generations

Caring Across Generations is a national movement working to make care—whether aging, disability, or child care—accessible, affordable, and equitable for all. We aim to ensure everyone can live, work, and age with dignity by changing cultural norms, winning policy reforms, and empowering those most affected by the care crisis. Visit caringacross.org for more information.

The Care Can't Wait Bus Tour

This summer, we’re hitting the road with the Care Can't Wait Bus Tour, driving change and inspiring action in communities across the country. As we stop in key cities, we’ll engage people in impactful discussions about the care crisis through rallies, panel discussions, and interactive activities. Each event offers a platform for local voices to share their care stories and advocate for meaningful policy change. Whether you're in Chicago, Milwaukee, New York, or another city on our route, we invite you to join us, connect with your community, and help transform our care system.

How Your Support Will Make a Difference

All funds raised through this campaign will go directly back into supporting the Care Can't Wait Bus Tour and our ongoing coalition efforts to move the care agenda forward. Your contributions will help us host events, amplify caregiver stories, and drive our advocacy efforts for real, systemic change across aging care, disability care, and child care. Every dollar you contribute will be matched by GoFundMe, up to $50,000, doubling your impact. Together, we can build a future where care is recognized as a public good, and no one has to bear the burden of care alone.

About the Care Can't Wait Coalition

CARE CAN’T WAIT is a coalition of organizations, stakeholders, and advocates committed to building a comprehensive, 21st-century care infrastructure. This means advocating for robust investments to expand access to child care, paid family and medical leave, and aging and disability care, as well as ensuring good jobs for the care workforce. The coalition is led by organizations like the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), Caring Across Generations, and many others dedicated to care justice.

Our Partnership with GoFundMe

We’re proud to partner with GoFundMe, the world’s leading crowdfunding platform, to expand our storytelling efforts and shine a light on the caregiving crisis. GoFundMe provides a crucial platform for caregivers and care recipients to raise money for care costs that, ideally, should be covered by our healthcare and social systems. While Caring Across Generations believes that no one should have to crowdfund for care, the existence of this platform underscores the vast need for support and the urgency of legislative change.
