We did this together. We came out in record numbers in this historic election. We rose up against hate, exclusion and racism and demanded change.
Whether we were working to get out the vote, to pass local legislation, to support the workers we employ, or doing essential care work, together we have shown the world that the fate of our democracy rests on achieving equity, respect and dignity for everyone in our communities— including domestic workers, immigrants, Black people, people with disabilities, seniors, and families.
THANK YOU
