GCIR’s recent webinar "Building Worker Power for Migrant Women" did something important beyond providing valuable content and timely insights: it gave us hope. The program,” showcased the miracle-making work being done in Arkansas, California, New Jersey, and New York to safeguard the rights of migrant women workers in the agriculture and poultry industries, and in the domestic work sector. In last month’s webinar, which was moderated by Carmen Randolph at Women’s Foundation of the South, we heard from local organizers at the California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc.’s (CRLA) LGBTQ+ Program; Damayan, a group that serves and empowers low-wage Filipino workers living and working in New York City and New Jersey; and Venceremos, a worker-based organization in Arkansas whose mission is to ensure the human rights of poultry workers.
