Care workers and labor activists rallied in Washington, D.C., to demand the infrastructure bill include fair pay and other benefits for home health workers, domestic workers, child care workers and unpaid family members who take care of their loved ones. This is domestic worker Nayeli Montes.

Nayeli Montes: “We were part of the workers on the frontline during the pandemic, and it’s time for them to recognize our hard work. And it’s time, too, that our work get more value, pay a little bit more than it is now.”
