After months of care workers lobbying, showing up in force to testify, and building bipartisan support for the bill, Colorado care workers are celebrating the bill\u2019s passage as a major step forward in addressing the care crisis and building a better care system for all those who provide and need care.<\/p><p><b style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">The Direct Care Workforce Stabilization Board establishes a process by which those most impacted by Colorado\u2019s care crisis\u2013direct care workers, people who receive care, employers\u2014and government officials can come together to make recommendations to address chronically low wages, limited benefits and other issues that are driving care workers to leave the industry in record numbers.<\/p><p><b style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\u201cFor too long, care work\u2013done mostly by women, many women of color and immigrants\u2013has been dismissed and undervalued due to sexism and racism, leading to low pay, poor conditions and a lack of voice for workers. After years of care workers organizing and making our voices heard, Colorado has taken a big step to start to right that wrong. Care workers and the people receiving care know best what it will take to fix things and keep workers in these jobs. With this Board, we will have the voice we deserve,\u201d said <b>Charmayne Phillips, chair of Colorado Care Workers Unite and Denver home care worker of over 25 years.<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">For years, care workers in Colorado have been organizing and demanding action to raise pay and address the poor conditions faced on the job.

The unlivable wages, limited benefits and unsuitable working conditions have created a care worker shortage, impacting access to critical care services in our communities. This bill is a great first step towards addressing the needs of our care workforce. It will give care workers a seat at the table to come up with recommendations necessary to help care workers to live with dignity and ensure Colorado can plan for quality, accessible care now and in the future,\u201d said <b>House Majority Leader Monica Duran (House District 23).<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Care workers say the legislation is necessary for advancing racial and gender justice.

There are a lot of older adults and Coloradans with disabilities who depend on the critical care these workers provide. Colorado\u2019s population is aging rapidly and the need for care workers is too. This legislation is a key part of how Colorado can address immediate concerns and also plan for the future, to not only stabilize the workforce but also grow and improve it, to ensure better conditions and pay and better care for consumers,\u201d said <b>Senator Jessie Danielson (Senate District 22)<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><b style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">The bill has attracted strong support from advocates from care consumers, organizations and advocates within Colorado\u2019s disability community, and groups representing aging Coloradans.
