Blog | Hand In Hand

Care touches every one of us. Whether you’re a disabled person who hires attendants, a family member caring for a loved one, or someone trying to figure out how to afford and manage care for your household, you know first-hand what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change.

Join us for a focus group conversation to tell us what a working care system would look like to you!

We are partnering with Caring Across Generations on 1 Million Care Conversations, a national initiative to hear directly from people across the country about what care looks like in their lives today and what they want it to look like in the future. These conversations will shape a national policy platform in advance of the 2028 elections.

We’re hosting two Care Conversations on The Future of Care:

Attendant Employer Conversation
Friday, November 13, 12:00–1:00 PM PT on Zoom
For disabled people and others who hire and direct their own attendants or home care workers.

Family Caregiver Conversation
Tuesday, November 10, 1:00–1:40 PM PT on Zoom, followed by our Family Caregiver support space from 1:40–2:15 PM!
For anyone caring for a family member, partner, or loved one. (Former family caregivers welcome!)

Register via link in the comments below. ⬇️

CART captions will be available for both conversations. You can share additional access needs through the registration form.

“It’s exhausting to have to justify your existence every legislative cycle.”

California Hand in Hand member leaders Julia Feinberg and Elizabette Guéçamburu, along with Lindsay Imai Hong, Hand in Hand’s California Director, spoke to CalMatters about the Medi-Cal asset limit for people with disabilities and older adults. The limit threatens to push people off the program or force them into financial insecurity.

Earlier this year, they put hundreds of hours of advocacy into beating back a proposal to lower the asset limit to $2,000, alongside other LTSS4All Coalition members, partners, and allies. Together, they secured a limit of $21,000 (down from $130,000), set to start July 1, 2027.

As Julia reminds us, “We keep having to have the same fight over and over and over again,” and the fight is not over. We’ll keep showing up until we eliminate the asset limit altogether and stop treating disabled people’s lives as expendable.
