Join us for a spotlight Talk with Ai-jen Poo, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Ali Noorani, President & CEO of the National Immigration Forum. In this talk, we will learn how advocacy and community organizing bring systemic change for a population of domestic workers often overlooked or ignored by people in power.
Domestic workers, most of whom are women and many of whom have a migratory background, face severe human rights violations and systemic barriers to having their voices heard. This conversation will include clear transferrable learnings related to the question of how community engagement and grassroots activism forms part of a systems change approach. This session is relevant for any member interested in movement-building, grass-roots organizing, advocacy, gender, and racial equity.
