[Domestic Workers @domesticworkers]

Family caregivers alone provide $470 billion of annual unpaid labor. It's time domestic workers receive fair wages that reflect the critical work they do to keep our society and economy healthy, and caregivers get the support they need to keep going.

Thrilled to be a new @Ashoka Fellow--and interviewed by Ashoka's Simon Stumpf about the idea:

This brief stands in staunch support of Gloria Johnson, et al., highlighting the detrimental effects of criminalization while eloquently showcasing the narratives of the amici. It brings to light proven strategies to combat homelessness, aiming to make it a rare and brief experience in any community.
