Why invest in Hand in Hand this #GivingTuesday?

No other organization does what we do. We understand the power of mobilizing domestic employers alongside domestic workers to re-envision how our society cares.

We help domestic employers follow best practices to make their homes fair workplaces through:
• Workshops
• One-on-one meetings
• Online resources

We win policy change that brings rights, benefits, and fair wages to domestic and care workers through:
• Coalition building
• Campaigns

We can’t do this work without your support 💜

LA caregivers, and those they care for, on the cover of the Los Angeles Times, including Hand in Hand member Lara Minges:

""“A huge issue, within our community, is the sheer shortage of people who are willing to do it because of the wages,” said Lara Minges, 47, a Sierra Madre resident who relies on an attendant to assist her with daily needs including getting out of bed, going to appointments, preparing meals and staying hydrated. The program is “really a matter of survival. ... Without my attendant I could die, and I would die.”"

It's #TimeFor20!

Economic Policy Institute has updated their #DomesticWorkers chartbook! "This chartbook provides a comprehensive look at not only who domestic workers are and where they live, but also their economic vulnerability—their wage, income, benefit, and poverty levels relative to workers in other occupations."

“I am deeply thankful for my dad, a Black immigrant engineer from Peru who moved to the United States to provide me with opportunities he never had available to him. For years he has tended to me, even bringing me homemade lunch daily through the pandemic, because I have Lupus and other chronic illnesses that cause fatigue and pain.” – Veralucia Mendoza from Sylvania, OH

November is #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth which recognizes over 65.7 million people who assist a loved one with personal care, skilled nursing tasks, and care management sometimes around the clock.

Family Caregivers are partners, spouses, grandparents, parents, and children of all ages who provide support to a loved one with essential daily tasks. Twenty-four percent of them report caring for more than one person. Some adult children are balancing care for their own children and parents – what is often called “sandwich” caregiving.

As our aging population increases, the struggles of family caregivers are becoming more and more apparent. Hand in Hand collected some of their stories during the 2022 midterm elections and through our ongoing #HonorDomesticWork project.
