“For decades, the alarm has been on. But we tune it out, except when the press amplifies it. And then we do the same thing again and again. We make some quick fixes. Let’s not cross our fingers and hope it will make the changes we need this time.” —@tweetelissa on DCHA

A long time coming. Congratulations to Antonia and Ingrid and all the @domesticworkers who showed up over and over. The Council still has work ahead of it to *implement* this legislation. #DCDomesticWorkersBillofRights

Domestic Workers @domesticworkers Dec 20, 2022

History is made. DC just passed the 13th #DomesticWorkersBillofRights.
A bill of rights means the women of color who work in our homes will be paid fair and feel safe on the job.

Congrats to the DC chapter members who made this possible!

"The fact of the matter is, we’ve known about deplorable housing conditions and DCHA dysfunction for decades. The alarm has been on since 1994, but we tune it out except when the press amplifies it." @tweetelissa’s remarks on @dc_housing emergency bill elissasilverman.com/silverman_rema…
