Those of us who employ nannies, house cleaners, and home care attendants are speaking up — because this vital workforce is under threat.

The NYC Coalition for Domestic Work is calling on the NYC Council to:

• Enhance the Domestic Worker & Employer Empowerment Initiative to $850K
• Include our coalition partners: Damayan Migrant Workers Association & La Colmena NYC
• Renew the Legal Services for Day Laborers & Domestic Workers Initiative

These funds protect workers' rights, combat wage theft, support immigrant communities, and ensure access to legal representation.

Employers and employees are standing TOGETHER. Domestic workers are the backbone of our care infrastructure — and they deserve our full support. ✊

Add your name to our employer petition via link in the comments ⬇️

Wondering how you can do more? Join us on Thursday for our campaign launch! See pinned post. 🚀

“You don’t know what it’s like to apply for these programs, you don’t know what it’s like to be born disabled and every year have to defend your right to get the same care that you got last year.“

Last Thursday we joined our LTSS4All coalition partners and Fight4OurHealth in our continued fight to protect Medicaid and fully fund Medi-Cal. As Brittanie Wilson, Hand in Hand’s California Lead Homecare Organizer was there and reminded us — Medi-Cal is a lifeline for millions of Californians with disabilities. Providing them access to essential services that allow them to live safely and independently.

We need bold action to keep them covered and healthy in the face of federal cuts to fill corporate pockets.

#CALeg & Governor Gavin Newsom: must take bold action to protect coverage for millions of Californians by holding corporations accountable and ensuring they pay their fair share for health coverage.
