John,
Election 2020 is one for the record books: an unprecedented 143-plus million people voted, whether by mail or in person, and Kamala Harris, a Black and South Asian woman, became the first female vice president, putting a serious crack in the glass ceiling and showing other women of color that our power is palpable.
But that’s not all. Black people, Latinx voters, women...all turned out and made sure their voices were heard. Organizers across this country, many of whom were women of color, worked around the clock to mobilize voters and combat voter suppression. This was all extraordinary to witness and we are proud of the work and of each and every one of you. You have every right to celebrate.
While election season may be over, we have more work to do to transform our economy into a caring economy and our country into a caring country, where everyone can thrive instead of a select few. We're committed to holding the incoming administration accountable to build an America that allows us to work and live with dignity, fairness and respect. Join us and sign our #CareforAll pledge.

We are still in the middle of a global pandemic where domestic workers have been the first to lose income, and the last to receive relief. Future federal relief packages must care for us all -- including the majority of domestic workers who have been deliberately excluded from previous packages and protections because of their immigration status or because they work in the informal economy. By signing the #CareForAll pledge you commit to the following principles:
- Continuing to organize our communities to turn this moment into real change for our country.
- Holding the incoming elected officials accountable for creating a future in which domestic workers, women of color, Black women, immigrant women, and our families live and work with safety, dignity, and joy.
- Continuing to build a movement where Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian women are showing up and leading the way to transform our democracy and economy into one that works for all of us.

For this government to work for all of us, it must include all of us. We have to insert ourselves into every step of the process and demand real transformation. We have shown that our power is unmatched, so I know that we can do this. Together.
Thank you for all that you do,
Ai-jen Poo, Executive Director
