Abstract
This short comment focuses on The Care Manifesto's vision “to think of care as the organizing principle of each and every scale of life”. It challenges the construction of care as a universal, all-ecompasing concept, on conceptual and political grounds: naming everything good care and everything evil uncaring leaves us with too simplistic a picture of the problems at hand; and makes the necessary political alliances to move the care agenda forward harder to forge. This is all the more so when The Care Manifesto also evidences a strong localism, as examples come mainly from the United Kingdom and the United States. In the urgent need to create a collective care narrative, and broadening the care agenda, The Care Manifesto is one important contribution, but many more voices, situations, locations and allies are necessary.
