CARE on Capitol Hill Social Media Toolkit

Spread the word and take others on the journey

CARE is heading to Capitol Hill March 4–5 ahead of International Women’s Day to urge U.S. leadership to protect and strengthen international assistance that supports women and girls worldwide.

Together, we’ll call on Congress to protect critical humanitarian and development programs that help women access economic opportunity, healthcare, food security, and protection from violence. These smart, cost-effective support addresses the root causes of poverty, prevent costly crises, and help build more stable, resilient communities around the world and here at home.

We invite you to share your experience on social media by using the prompts below.

Please note, as you'll be posting as a CARE advocate while you're in D.C. with us, we ask that you stay focused on speaking to your experience and what you're advocating for.

Just landed in #DC 🇺🇸✈️ ahead of International Women's Day!

I’m here with @careorg to urge Congress to protect U.S. international assistance that helps women and families thrive.

When women have access to economic opportunity, healthcare, and protection from violence, communities become more stable, economies grow stronger, and we prevent costly crises before they escalate.

After CARE on Capitol Hill wraps up

Once CARE on Capitol Hill Wraps up, click here to download the graphic and post with the following text to join our International Women's Day Campaign:

Who cares about leveling the playing field? I do.

The playing field still isn’t level for women. Across industries, communities, and countries, women are often expected to work harder for the same recognition, lead without the title, and overcome barriers others never have to face. And still, they rise.

This International Women’s Day, I’m standing with @careorg to help change that. Because when women have a fair shot, everyone moves forward.

Join me in taking a stand. Add your name and help #LevelThePlayingField for women everywhere at care.org/pledge
