A bright teal digital campaign graphic for Professionals Who Care featuring a large yellow circular title frame on the right that reads "The Infrastructure We Build - Dispatch 5 - The Part of Caregiving That Nobody Has a Name For". In the upper left, a tilted square inset photograph shows a dimly lit hallway inside a home, with a manual wheelchair parked beside a dining table and light glowing from under a closed door at the end of the hall. In the lower left, white text states the quote: "Caregiving is infrastructure. It has always been infrastructure. It has never been encoded into law." framed by large lime-green quotation marks. The circular white Professionals Who Care logo is anchored in the bottom right corner.
Professionals Who Care examines why naming and defining this labor is the crucial first step toward statutory protection.
"Caregiving is infrastructure. It has always been infrastructure. It has never been encoded into law."

The Caring Costs Survey is live at casiadvocacy.org/research.


It was built to give a name to the invisible labor that has kept the economy moving for generations - the pivot, the swap, the simultaneous management of two people's needs at ten o'clock at night that no employer knows about and no legal framework currently recognizes.


Four modules. Academically reviewed by Dr. Chloe East at CU Boulder. Designed to inform the Colorado Commission on Medicaid's December 11 report and the 2027 CARE Act legislative session.


Caregivers, policy advocates, and employers each have a door. Anonymous. No account required.


Read the full dispatch on Substack and take the survey today.


Kindly and Gratefully -
