Dear Friend,

This week, NCLEJ submitted our comments to the U.S. Department of Labor regarding their proposed rule to rescind the 2013 Home Care Final Rule, which extended Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) protections to domestic workers.

If rescinded, the change would deprive more than 3.7 million homecare workers across the country of their rights to minimum wage and overtime. We will not sit idly by and allow that to happen without a fight. Click here to read our submitted comments. ([link removed])

This proposed rule is yet another assault by the Trump administration on the already-marginalized communities NCLEJ serves across the United States. Not surprisingly, the rule would have a disproportionate impact on the people who are the lifeblood of the homecare industry—namely, immigrants, women, and people of color, not to mention the elderly and disabled clients with whom they work.

At NCLEJ, we believe that poverty, racial oppression, and discrimination against people with disabilities are all deeply intertwined. Justice on any of these fronts cannot be achieved without addressing the others, and that is perhaps no more apparent than in our advocacy for homecare workers.

Public awareness is a critical line of defense against the harmful policies and practices being advanced by the Trump administration. We urge you to stay informed and to learn more about NCLEJ’s advocacy for homecare workers around the country. Please share this information with your networks and stay vigilant in the face of these ongoing threats to the safety and well-being of our communities. ([link removed])

In solidarity,
