Content warning: this email discusses sexual harassment.

John — I once worked as a caregiver for a male employer, and on my very first night on the job, he asked me to get into bed with him.

This sexual harassment is LEGAL, because I am a domestic worker.

Caregivers, housecleaners, and other domestic workers like me are EXCLUDED from the most basic workplace protections like sexual harrasment, overtime pay, and paid sick leave.

It means millions of Black, Latinx, and Asian immigrant women like me are often in the position of praying employers do the right thing every time we enter a home.

That’s why this month, we’re ramping up our campaign to pass a National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights to correct these injustices, and I’m asking if you can join us to launch with unstoppable momentum.

Will you join us and call on your representatives to support the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights?

Care work is on track to be one the fastest growing sectors in the next decade. But care workers like me are still governed by the laws of the slavery-era past.

In the 1930s when most workers were given basic workplace rights by Congress, farm workers and domestic workers, the majority of whom were Black, were deliberately left out.

Now thanks to the relentless leadership of the incredible domestic workers who are part of the National Domestic Workers Alliance around the country, we’ve pushed ten states and two major cities to pass domestic workers bills of rights or protections. But we won’t stop until all domestic workers are protected.

Will you join us as we push tirelessly to pass a National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights by adding your name to our petition calling on Congress to act at last?

Thanks for your support,

June Barrett, Domestic Worker Leader
