Hi Friend, 
Over 2.5 million domestic workers across the United States -- many of them
immigrants and women of color -- care for our children, homes, the
elderly, and people with disabilities.

Yet domestic workers in the United States are excluded from federal labor
laws, which means they aren’t entitled to overtime pay, minimum wage,
unemployment benefits, or worker’s compensation if they get injured on the
job. 
For the first time in history, we have the opportunity to give domestic
workers the rights, dignity, and respect they deserve. Senator Kamala
Harris and Representative Pramila Jaypal have introduced the Domestic
Workers Bill of Rights Act and we’re joining with our partners to put the
pressure on our legislators to pass it.

Rights Act?

Under the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Act, domestic workers will have
access to safe and healthy working conditions, as well as protections
against workplace harassment and discrimination, and paid overtime. They
will also be able to benefit from affordable health care and retirement
benefits, fair scheduling, support for survivors of sexual harassment, and
grants for workplace training.(1)

Domestic workers have gone without federal protections for far too long as
they’ve worked hard to care for our loved ones and our homes. We must
demand that Congress change this by supporting the Domestic Workers Bill
of Rights Act.

the United States.
Yours in the fight,
Mary, along with Analeeza, Annie, Brenna, Caitlin, Deepthi, Diego, Eddie,
Gabby, Lindsay, Mai, Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage Campaign
