Home attendants – the majority of whom are immigrant women of color – work 24 hour shifts in NYC, often several in a row. Workers are calling to an end to the 24-hour workday as a form of racial and gendered exploitation, with severe tolls on their mental and physical health.
Please join APALSA for a documentary screening, followed by panel discussion with home care workers and organizers on the intersection of labor, law, and the power of organizing at the grass roots.
