Downtown Oakland
One event that combines the history of the Domestic Workers Movement with the current state of its organizing at the national level with Mariana Viturro, the Deputy Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, with Kim Alvarenga of the Ca Domestic Workers Alliance, and Kathy Coll, professor of history at USF.
Background:
The Domestic Workers Movement has become one of the most powerful movements led by working class women of color, including Black women and immigrant women. This didn’t happen by accident. It has been built by diligent organizing over the past twenty five years and draws from its roots of resistance dating back to the enslavement of Native Americans and Africans by European colonists on this continent.
Come learn about that rich history with University of San Francisco Professor (and long-time Hand in Hand leader) Kathy Coll.
Then join a conversation with Mariana Viturro, the Deputy Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and with Kim Alvarenga, the Director of the CA Domestic Workers Coalition, to learn about the current status of organizing in the Domestic Worker Movement and the many strategies being used to build power of domestic workers, transform the industry and prepare to win in critical elections in 2020.
