Glad to get the chance to talk with @jbouie about the real American working class--not hard hats but home health care workers and Amazon warehouse employees. All need unions, decent work conditions, and real living wages. nytimes.com/2021/03/02/opi….

The stories keep coming: the pandemic has not been kind or fair to mothers. And our leaders don’t seem to care or think about it. In the Covid-19 Economy, You Can Have a Kid or a Job. You Can’t Have Both. nytimes.com/2020/07/02/bus…

So glad to see someone getting the data on what we all knew was true. The evidence is mounting every day that no schools. No childcare. And work at home=big costs for women.

We rely on women as essential caregivers--pandemic or not. But we pay them like their work has little value. Valuing "essential workers" means paying them like we mean it. Why Are Some Health Care Workers Paid Poverty Wages? nyti.ms/2X5cqu4 via @nytvideo

Today's theme is domestic workers. Paying them. Respecting them. Giving them safe working conditions. Here's one starting point, with some good resources.
Hand in Hand: The Domestic Employers Network@HiHemployers

If you're continuing to get paid through this pandemic, sign the Pledge to continue to pay the domestic worker you employ. The #coronavirus crisis is exposing the lack of safety net for the workers who give care and support our families. #domesticworkers actionnetwork.org/forms/i-can-an…
