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 harassment protection, 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 as we push tirelessly to pass a National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights by pledging your support to our work?
