Coming to this country with dreams of a better life, frontline caregivers, nannies and house cleaners risk it all to support their families while fighting for workplace protections during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through grit, activism and unbending solidarity, these mostly female and largely undocumented workers show how change can happen-even when the odds are stacked against them. Led by Kim Alvarenga, the daughter of a Salvadoran domestic worker in San Francisco, the California Domestic Workers Coalition helps lead a turbulent campaign that would bring domestics under OSHA protections for the first time in our nation's history.
