Author and activist Ai-jen Poo leads a discussion about how and why we can help domestic workers in the age of COVID-19 and beyond. Poo founded the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) in 2007, on the idea that housecleaners, nannies, and health aides deserve good jobs with living wages, benefits, and legal protections. Some of the most undervalued people in our economy, and primarily immigrants and women of color, these workers historically have had no protections—and now that many have lost their jobs due to coronavirus, they need a safety net more than ever. Poo is also a leading voice in the movement for women’s equal rights as a co-founder of Supermajority, a new home for women’s activism, along with Cecile Richards and Alicia Garza and a vocal advocate for Universal Family Care.
