"In Like a Mother, Garbes stopped short of analyzing the systems that make motherhood in America so relentlessly hard in the first place. This is what she promises in her new book, Essential Labor. She draws on a wide range of thinkers and activists, including the welfare rights movement, the National Domestic Workers Association, the Black Panther Party, indigenous environmental scientist Robin Wall Kimmerer, Black feminists like Dani McClain and Audre Lorde, and Filipinx studies scholars, including Catherine Ceniza Choy. She brings all this thinking into conversation about a central question: How did America become “a wealthy country with an invaluable force of women, most of them brown and Black, performing our most important work for free or at poverty wages”?"

"Volunteers also hold sessions to inform workers that the new state law also requires their employers to provide a written agreement aimed at preventing wage theft. The written agreement should include pay rate and scheduling – something never before required of domestic employers.

With these efforts, the Connecticut Worker Center has become the connection for workers and their protections.

“When there is institutional, personal and organizational support at the same time, it’s [like] a triangle that complements everything that can be done in favor of a worker,” Jara said."

We love to see it CT 👏
