Dear John,
We invite you to join us today for our Making History event, where we will learn about the rich history of domestic workers, celebrate women like Dorothy Bolden who laid the foundation for domestic worker organizing, and hear from today's domestic worker leaders, including our very own Ai-jen Poo, Alicia Garza and more..
Making History will feature the premiere screening of the new short documentary film Demanding Justice: A History of Domestic Workers, and is the launch of the first-ever digital timeline of domestic worker history as well as the unveiling of a series of original portraits of domestic worker “movement ancestors.”
WHAT: Making History Event
WHEN: Today, October 15, 8:00-9:30 pm ET / 5:00-6:30 pm PT
WHERE: Zoom
This event is the culmination of a three-year collaboration between NDWA and activist-scholars Jennifer Guglielmo, Michelle Joffroy, and Diana Sierra Becerra at Smith College. The history timeline, and accompanying curriculum, are putting domestic worker history into domestic workers’ hands, and bringing to light the rich traditions of domestic worker organizing for a more just economy and democracy.
Come be inspired by the domestic worker movement of the past, and hear from domestic worker leaders who are making history and transforming this work today.
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.
