Resistance begins in our homes and on our blocks.

We'll discuss concrete ways to support the housecleaners, nannies, gardeners, day laborers, and caregivers who sustain our homes and communities.

Together, we’ll learn to build trust and leverage our own resources to offer support to immigrant domestic workers:
• Creating emergency plans together
• Offering paid leave
• Accompanying workers to the bus stop
• and much more

When: Thursday, July 23 | 6pm - 7:30pm ET
Where: Zoom (Zoom link be emailed to you after you RSVP)

We are not an afterthought!

Hand in Hand member Deaka Mclain speaks to ABC7 Eyewitness News about the proposed IHSS budget cuts — which we saved, mostly — and how these cuts affect people with disabilities.

Listen up and remember — we’re still fighting! 💪

Republicans, under the leadership of Trump, are doing these evil things to people with disabilities.....If you voted for Trump, or voted for any Republican, you are now getting what you voted for and getting what you deserve. I care about you, so I voted for Vice President Kamala Harris and I always vote for Democrats.
