“The fierce urgency of now” [[link removed]]

The words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. remind us that the time to act is not in some distant future—it is now . Today, as we honor his legacy, his words challenge us to confront injustice and stand for care, dignity and respect [[link removed]] .

We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.
— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.The injustices we face—attacks on care programs, threats to immigrant families, and the devaluation of domestic work—don’t exist in isolation. They disproportionately impact women, especially Black, Latina women, and other women of color, who have long carried the weight of systemic inequality while keeping our communities strong.

These injustices ripple through families and across generations. Standing against them is more than an act of solidarity; it’s a fight for the soul of this country.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Domestic workers, care workers, and immigrant workers are the center of this nation—caring for our loved ones, holding our communities together, and building a better future. Yet their labor is undervalued, and their voices are too often ignored.

We cannot remain silent while policies and practices strip dignity and opportunity from the very people who make all other work possible. This is our moment to rise together and demand justice for all.

Will you help us build a movement strong enough to meet this moment by pledging to commit to care and dignity? [[link removed]]

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Dr. King taught us that silence in the face of injustice is complicity. The challenges before us demand our voices, our actions, and our unwavering commitment to care and dignity.

When we speak out, we amplify the voices of women and communities pushed to the margins. When we act, we create ripples of change that uplift every family and every community.

Take action today. Share this message with friends and family. Together, we can grow a powerful network committed to care and dignity.

The time is always right to do what is right.
— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.The fight for care and dignity is a fight for justice, respect, and resilience. It’s a fight for the rights and recognition of people who have sacrificed so much and remain the cornerstone of our economy and society.

Dr. King’s words are as true today as ever. The time to act is now.

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.
