“The fashion industry has been built on the backs of women & girls who experience debt, abuse, trafficking. These are also the challenges that domestic workers experience. To see changes, we must stand in solidarity.' - Allison Julien, Organizer Director, We Dream in Black

Happy May Day to all! ✊🏾🌸🌸

Today we celebrate the labor movement’s struggles, sacrifices, and successes, especially those of our immigrant communities as we fight for justice.

#InternationalWorkersDay , or #MayDay , is where we celebrate workers & the movement we built to protect & empower all of us

Fairness & respect should not have to be fought for, but Black women like Dorothy Bolden have always been at the center of the fight for worker equality.

Happy #InternationalWorkersDay ! Today, we will be showing up alongside our coalition partners in NYC, NY, and CA, in solidarity with workers and the oppressed everywhere, and in envisioning the future of care. 1/🧵

April is Care Workers Recognition Month. Yesterday, I held a roundtable with members of @seiuva512, @careinactionus, Domestic Workers and Dreamer Mothers in Action to celebrate the Biden-Harris Administration’s actions to strengthen the care economy and what more must be done.

Today, we are unveiling the first in our Portraits of Care series!

Thank you Ai-jen Poo and Domestic Workers for leading the change!

And thank you Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden for answering the call!

This is big!
