John— Jeanette Vizguerra, a longtime NDWA member, worker leader and activist, was just taken by ICE without warning.
Jeanette has called Colorado home for over two decades and now could be torn away from her children, grandchildren and the community.
This is urgent. Jeanette is in detention right now and facing unjust deportation. Add your name to stand with Jeanette and call for her immediate release.
Jeanette is a longtime community leader and member of NDWA and the American Friends Service Committee, as well as a former SEIU member and co-founder of the Metro Denver Sanctuary Coalition. She has always wanted what all mothers want — safety for her family, herself, and her community.
Jeanette was targeted by immigration authorities in 2017 and spent three months living in sanctuary in a Denver church to avoid being deported and separated from her family.
Since then, she's spent years supporting hundreds of other mothers and workers with their own fights to remain, even being recognized as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world for her work.
Jeanette deserves to be home with her family. We will not allow our families and communities to be torn apart. Our commitment to our loved ones and neighbors, to each other, is greater than fear. Add your name to urgently call for Jeanette's immediate release.
Let's be clear: The abduction and disappearing of people from our communities is an assault on our families, and our right to live safe, dignified lives.
We will not allow our communities to be torn apart, or our friends, neighbors and loved ones to be terrorized for speaking out. We will protect each other.
Thank you for standing with Jeanette,
The NDWA team
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.
