John — have you heard of South by Southwest (SXSW)?
It's a major culture, music, and art conference and festival held in Austin, Texas each year, that has launched musical careers, hosted presidential candidates, and brings together thought leaders and influencers from around the world.
If there's an idea worth sharing, SXSW is a great place to be – and we want to make sure the Future of Care is at the center of next year's event.
We’ve proposed a panel featuring NDWA President Ai-jen Poo, but panels at SXSW are chosen, in part, by a Community Vote. John, can you vote for our panel on the Future of Care – there’s just 4 days left?
We're all going to need care – for ourselves or a loved one – or provide it at some point. But America's lack of infrastructure for care has led to a crisis that is being felt across generations and culture.
Our panel will bring together NDWA President Ai-jen Poo and members of the Caring Across Generations Creative Care Council to discuss the future of care for families and providers alike, how culture can shape the way care is viewed and prioritized, and what this all means for the pivotal 2024 election.
Now is the time to imagine the future of care, and you can help us take this conversation to SXSW to raise it up the national agenda. Vote now for our panel on the Future of Care to be part of SXSW and leave a comment in support. The deadline to vote is this Sunday, August 20.
Thanks for all that you do,
Care Team
National Domestic Workers Alliance
Thank you for being a dedicated supporter of the National Domestic Workers Alliance!
We're working day and night to win respect, recognition, and labor rights and protections for the more than 2.5 million nannies, house cleaners, and homecare workers.
The majority of domestic workers sit at the center of some of our nation’s most decisive issues because of who they are and what they do: they are women – mostly women of color, immigrants, mothers, and low-wage workers. They are impacted by almost every policy affecting the future of our economy, democracy and country.
Domestic workers can lead us toward a new, inclusive vision for the future for all of us -- and your grassroots support is the fuel that can get us there.
