And if this is too big of a commitment, I'm always thankful for a simple cup of coffee.]Last night, I was honored and delighted to join a phenomenal group of brilliant leaders and hundreds of thousands of women across the country in support of the Vice President on the first Women for Harris National Organizing Call.You can watch the organizing call in its entirety right here, and I strongly recommend doing so. Speakers included Women for Harris Director Rhonda Foxx, Sen. Laphonza Butler, Chelsea Clinton, Min Jin Lee, Yvette Nicole Brown, Shannon Watts, Ai-Jen Poo, Glynda Carr, and so many more.I honestly did not expect to cry so much, but when Ms. Lee began telling her story and teared up, I completely lost it. By the time Ms. Clinton reminded us all of the history of women seeking the White House, I was a mess.It was a bad night for mascara and a great night for democracy.Below are my remarks:Good evening!My name is Charlotte Clymer, my pronouns are she/her, I'm a writer and activist, and I am so excited to be part of this historic gathering of women across the country.Now, look, I'm not gonna repeat to y'all what the brilliant and eloquent women who spoke before me stated, nor do I have the eloquence and brilliance of the women who will speak over the remainder of this evening.I'm just gonna tell y'all a quick story about why I proudly support Vice President Harris.I am a proud American, a proud Texan, a proud military veteran, a proud trans woman, and a proud Democrat.And I have found that there a lot of folks, including Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, who want to place me in a specific box.They say I'm too queer to be a proud military veteran.They say a trans woman like me can't be a Christian and a strong person of faith as I am.They say women like me don't belong in America.Well, here's what I have to say to that: thank goodness our leader, Vice President Harris, has common sense and believes no American, no human being, belongs in a box.A little over four years ago, a number of rightwing extremists took a picture of me from a public event and attempted to harass me online. They wanted me to be ashamed of how I look as a trans woman.Now, just like the women I admire—women like my grandmother, women like Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett from my home state of Texas, women like Vice President Harris—am I going to give these sad and insecure people that kinda power over me?No. I don't have time for that. I love how I look. I know I'm beautiful. So, I wrote a thread explaining that, and I offered an open hope that these sad and insecure people will someday have the kind of peace and comfort in their own skin as I have in mine.One of the first public figures to respond to that thread was then-Senator Kamala Harris.She gave me support. She gave me encouragement. She made me feel seen. And in that moment, she sent a clear message that supporting her means supporting the basic concept that all of us are worthy to be who we are authentically.I want to be clear: there were no incentives for her here. I hadn't endorsed her. I hadn't talked with her campaign. It wasn't like she was gonna fundraise off this moment.She did it because Vice President Harris is the kind of leader who fights for every American. She fights for the military veteran who comes back from war with horrific wounds. She fights for the woman turned away from life-saving abortion access. She fights for the public school teacher who's overworked and underpaid. She fights for every child, every senior, every single American. She fights for all of us.Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are gonna throw everything they got at her—every cruel remark, every disgusting sexist and racist trope, every bit of vile—and they're gonna find out the hard way that it just isn't enough.And why is that? Because we have a clear strategy here. All we have to do is follow the example of Vice President Harris. She is a leader who builds bridges, who invites tough conversations, who always embraces discomfort as a gift for growth.If we follow her example, if we make every phone call, if we knock on every door, if we invite tough conversations with our friends and family and neighbors who are on the fence in this election, I guarantee you, on everything I hold dear, that Kamala Harris will be the 47th President of the United States.Thank god this is our leader. Let's follow her example. Let's go win this thing.To find out how to volunteer and elect our first woman president and save democracy from Trump and Vance and Project 2025, text WOMEN to 30330.And donate to the historic and exciting campaign of Vice President Harris right here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/charlotteforharrisCharlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

Given the Labor Day holiday, we're republishing one of our favorite episodes. From the original description: Every day in the United States, 10,000 people turn 65, according to the UN Population Division. We are about to have the largest older population ever. At the same time, nearly 4 million babies are born every year, leaving many Americans juggling caring for young children and aging parents. Caregiving is often cast as nonproductive labor, despite the incredible mental, emotional and physical toll it can take. It's increasingly clear that more resources are urgently needed to support caregivers. How can we rethink our social and economic policies to ensure that more people can age with dignity? Ai-jen Poo is president of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and executive director of Caring Across Generations. She is also author of the 2015 book “The Age of Dignity: Preparing for the Elder Boom in a Changing America.” She joins WITHpod to discuss her personal experiences that led her to be an activist, the need for more infrastructure to support caring for aging populations, the care economy and more.**WITHpod Live Tour Special Announcement**We're taking #WITHpod back on the road for a live three-city tour.

This Women's History Month, we're wondering: What will it take to achieve a society that prioritizes—and achieves—true equality? Our answers to those questions are the Majority Rules: a series of rules, created by Supermajority, intended to guide us to our ultimate goal of gender equality.Today, we're diving into Rule #3, “Our work is valued.” In a world that systemically erases and devalues the work of women, and that of women of color in particular, how can we ensure that our work is valued—especially care work, domestic work and other forms of work that often go unrecognized and are rendered invisible?  Joining us to answer these questions is a very special guest:Ai-jen Poo. Ai-jen Poo is an American labor leader, president of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and a co-founder of Supermajority. She's also the author of The Age of Dignity: Preparing for the Elder Boom in a Changing America.  Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Tips, suggestions, pitches?

Caregiving is the work that makes all other work possible, but it doesn't always get the respect it deserves -— whether it's done by an employee or a family member.

Lynette and Ai-jen discuss the state of child care in the context of the larger care economy.

Millions of Americans work inside our homes–as carers and cleaners–taking care of the people and places we value most. Though they do the most important work in our lives, work that we would only entrust to few others, they are some of the most marginalized workers in our economy–and the work they do continues to be undervalued and underappreciated. Abdul breaks down the consequences of that for our society. Then he speaks with Ai-Jen Poo, co-founder and Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance.

The visionary, next-generation organizer Ai-jen Poo says this of Tarana Burke: “There are just so many layers of hope that she brings to the world and to people like me, to survivors, to all kinds of communities.” Ai-jen and Tarana are the conversation partners for this episode of The Future of Hope. And what a conversation it is. We listen in on a brilliant friendship that has powered and sustained two extraordinary women who are leading defining movements of this generation that call us to our highest humanity. Ai-jen has been long ahead of a cultural curve we are all on now — of seeing the urgent calling to update and transform not just how we value the caregiving workforce of millions, but how we value care itself as a society. Tarana founded the ‘me too.' Movement. What you are about to hear is intimate, revelatory, and rooted in trust and care. It's also an invitation to all of us, to imagine and build a more graceful way to remake the world.Ai-jen Poo co-founded and leads The National Domestic Workers Alliance, is the director of Caring Across Generations, and co-founder of Supermajority.

In the future, robots may take over tasks such as doling out medications. But no machine can raise a child or truly care for a disabled, ill or aging loved one.  And home care jobs are projected to be among the fastest-growing jobs in America. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects care jobs will grow 33 percent by 2029. By some estimates, 70 percent of people over 65 soon will require long-term care.  But care jobs are also, for the most part, poverty-wage jobs. They are low-paying, stressful, emotionally taxing, unpredictable and precarious. Half of all care workers in America earn so little that they qualify for public benefits. Nine out of 10 home health workers are women, 62 percent are people of color and one-third are immigrants.  In what many scholars say was an overt act of white supremacy and patriarchy, care workers were excluded from the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. They were denied the federal right to organize and collectively bargain, demand a minimum wage or overtime pay. What would the future of care work look like if they could? Guests Brittany Williams, home care worker living in Washington state, and a member of a union representing caregivers. Danielle Williams, Brittany's mother, a home care worker in Arkansas.

In our series "Changing the Game," CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas sits down with philanthropist Melinda French Gates and labor activist Ai-jen Poo, who are drawing attention to an undervalued workforce.

The guest on this episode is Ai-Jen Poo, an activist and lobbyist who has sought better pay for caregivers and greater access to in-home care for people who need it. Many of us who care for an aging parent rely on the help of a paid caregiver, someone to fill in when we're not available or just need a few hours off. Those professional home care aides take on demanding, intimate work that allows elderly people to stay at home rather than move into a nursing home, and yet on average, they make just $11 an hour. Ai-Jen tells Kitty how her grandmother and grandfather inspired her work, and the policy changes she thinks the United States needs to fix its elder care system.

Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco break down the unprecedented amount of education bills targeting teachers and students. Plus Ai-jen Poo joins to discuss the National Domestic Workers Alliance push to bring fairness and dignity to domestic workers, and touch base on the state of the care agenda in Congress. Then Rheeqrheeq Chainey and Jill Gutowitz (new book Girls Can Kiss Now out now!) stop by to discuss the evolution of queer culture in film and television and how pop culture has helped shaped our identity.

In this episode of Capital for Good, we speak with Ai-jen Poo, one of the country's most innovative and celebrated leaders of the labor and women's movements. She is an award-winning organizer, author, and a leading voice on economic inclusion and shared prosperity. Poo is the executive director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, director of Caring Across Generations, co-founder of SuperMajority, and a nationally recognized expert on elder and family care, the future of work, gender equality, immigration, narrative change, and grassroots organizing. She is the author of The Age of Dignity: Preparing for the Elder Boom in a Changing America, co-host of the podcast Sunstorm, and the recipient of countless recognitions including a MacArthur “Genius” award. In this conversation, we discuss the origins of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), a nonprofit organization working to bring dignity, protections and fairness to the growing numbers of workers who care and clean in our homes, the majority of whom are immigrants and women of color, and how NDWA has grown in just fifteen years to include more than 70 affiliate organizations and chapters and over 250,000 members. We explore NDWA's work in the pandemic, including the launch of its Coronavirus Care Fund, which raised and distributed millions of dollars in emergency assistance to domestic workers in need – workers who have long been essential to our collective well-being, and were particularly vulnerable and hard hit in the pandemic. We also examine the power of policy – the American Rescue Plan, Build Back Better, critical legislation at the state and city level – to strengthen the care economy with a thriving safety net and workforce that benefits us all, and the role that Poo and National Domestic Workers Alliance have played in passing these and other critical pieces of legislation, including Domestic Worker Bills of Rights in several states and at the federal level. Poo explains how various tools of change – policy and advocacy, storytelling, media, technology – help shift power and voice and “expand people's imagination for what is possible.”   Thanks for listening!Subscribe to Capital for Good on Apple, Amazon, Google, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this tenth episode of Next Normal, Amit is joined by the guest most frequently recommended by other Next Normal guests, Ai-jen Poo. Ai-jen is the co-founder and Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, a leading non-profit dedicated to bringing dignity to workers in the “care economy.” In this episode, Ai-jen reflects on experiences in her own life that inspire her work to ensure “every worker in care economy earns a living wage with real economic security and opportunity.” She discusses the “invisible economy” that has served as a lifeline during the pandemic and connects care workers' challenges to obstacles faced by other largely unseen and under-appreciated workers globally. As we strive to re-imagine the future of our economic system, Ai-jen suggests that the world turn its attention to the “original gig economy workers”— domestic workers.

On the radio show this week, we cover what's going on in the fight to finally, FINALLY build the care infrastructure that we all need (and what you can do to help make that happen!); the latest in the devastatingly bad trend of limiting access to abortion care and the recent US Supreme Court decision; hear about breastfeeding rights, the Momnibus, and the steps you can take to back up moms; and get the inside scoop from U.S. Representative Suzan Delbene about the Child Tax Credit of up to $300 per child per month and how you can help make this benefit permanent. *Special guests include: Ai-Jen Poo, National Domestic Workers Alliance and Caring Across Generations, @domesticworkers; Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, @PPFA; Tina Sherman, MomsRising, @MomsRising; U.S. Congresswoman Suzan DelBene, @RepDelBene

Ai-jen Poo's life's work involves bringing dignity and fairness to domestic workers, often women of color, who care for our children and elders and clean our homes. She has mentored and employed leading activists, including a founder of Black Lives Matter. She's a hidden force in American politics. Her decades-long crusade has made the “care economy” part of President Joe Biden's agenda. And as a woman of privilege leading a constituency with far less of it, she has grappled her entire life with a question that others have raised too: What is my place in this movement?

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.

In the third episode in our series on care, we're talking to Ai-jen Poo of the National Domestic Workers Alliance about domestic work and the workers who take care of our homes, our families and our communities.

“I really believe that care and caregiving can save the soul of the country. Everybody has people that they care about. It totally connects us in this very deep, emotional way.” We agree with Ai-Jen! We had SO MUCH FUN in this conversation.The paid work of caregiving - which is mostly done by mashy women - makes our economy and world move. Ai-Jen Poo is the head of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and one of the organizers of Supermajority. She's so mashy she even has a hyphen in her name!Ai-Jen tells us what it was like growing up between Taiwan and the US, and how her relationship with her grandparents meant that she never was ashamed of her mashiness. There is a direct line between her mash-up origin story and how she ended up working with domestic workers.For more details and super practical info visit domesticworkers.org and domesticemployers.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Domestic workers are entrusted with the most precious aspects of people's lives -- they're the nannies, the elder-care workers and the house cleaners who do the work that makes all other work possible. Too often, they're invisible, taken for granted or dismissed as "help," yet they continue to do their wholehearted best for the families and homes in their charge. In this sensational talk, activist Ai-Jen Poo shares her efforts to secure equal rights and fair wages for domestic workers and explains how we can all be inspired by them. "Think like a domestic worker who shows up and cares no matter what," she says. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
