NYC Care Campaign: Mayoral Interview with Maya Wiley
Hand in Hand: The Domestic Employers Network45 Broadway, Suite 320New York, NY10006 Map
The NYC Care Campaign is kicking off our first mayoral interview this weekend! Join the NYC Care Campaign members on Sunday, April 25th from 6:30pm to 7:15pm EST for an intimate interview with Maya Wiley, mayoral candidate for NYC.
Domestic workers continue to be relegated from major protections including a concrete government plan to address human trafficking that impacts foreign domestic workers, ensuring human rights protections in the workplace, and providing support for the care sector and immigrant workers during the pandemic. Access to care also continues to be an issue for working families, older adults, and people with disabilities. While NYPD's budget continues to increase each year, other vital sectors like the care sector are defunded. The new NYC Mayor must do everything possible to end the care crisis.
We hope to see you on Zoom this Sunday to listen to Maya Wiley's plan for NYC!

Non-Toxic Cleaning for House Cleaner Employers
https://actionnetwork.org/events/non-toxic-cleaning-for-house-cleaner-employers
***RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/non-toxic-cleaning-for-house-cleaner-employers
Do you ever wonder how cleaning products may affect the health of your family or the health of your employee, who is exposed to them daily? Do you want to make the transition to safer, non-toxic cleaning products but have not tried either because you've not known where to locate safer, affordable cleaning products or you have not known how to approach the topic with your family or employee?
Join Hand in Hand and Women's Voices for the Earth for a webinar to learn the basics of the human costs of using toxic cleaning products in your home, find safer alternatives and navigate the conversation between worker and employer to make the transition to non-toxic cleaning products in a way that makes both parties feel respected and heard.

Join us for our CA monthly member meeting! At this meeting we will learn together about how the issue of vaccination affects our communities and some of the important history of the relationships between race and healthcare that shapes today’s experience and who gets access to the vaccine, who doesn't, and what we can do help ensure that those who most need it, get it first. We will also share Hand in Hand’s new vaccine guidelines to help domestic employers support their employees access the vaccine. We'll of course take some time to connect with one another and get updated on our campaign work.
