Washington, D.C.— On Tuesday, November 16th at 10:30 AM PT/1:30 PM ET, Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) and AARP will hold a live tele-town hall. The town hall will focus on what resources are available now and how we must better support caregivers and families, especially as the House considers the Build Back Better Act. In addition to securing policies like the Child Tax Credit, Strickland has consistently advocated for investments in caregiving infrastructure, co-authoring an op-ed in the Seattle Times on the topic.
