Today is International Workers Day, and we’ve got a lot to celebrate right now. But, Kelli, we’re also completely clear-eyed that there’s still so much work left to do.
Far too many nannies, house cleaners, and home care workers face unfair and unsafe working conditions, sexual harassment, insufficient pay or wage theft, and a lack of respect and recognition for the crucial work they do.
Our successes last month gives us powerful fuel to change that, and we’re going all-out to secure as many new congressional Care Champions as possible while we have this incredible momentum.
So our team has been working tirelessly to plan face-to-face meetings on Capitol Hill, in-district events by domestic workers, and constituent contact across the country. This is a huge lift and we can’t do it alone.
As we reflect on this past month, we’re proud of the historic gains made for care workers:
We’re taking today to celebrate, because it’s so important to recharge and refuel. But we’re now more determined than ever to push for better jobs, fair pay, and dignified working conditions for ALL workers.
And we need your help to seize this momentum to make that happen.
Let this International Workers Day renew our dedication to building a society where every worker and every profession is valued and respected.
Together, we can create real change and make a difference in the lives of countless workers.
Thank you for your support.
