Domestic employees are at the whim of their employers.

Movements of people create change - not just any one person or organization, but when lots of people are in motion around a shared vision.

Living longer is about loving longer, learning longer, teaching longer, connecting longer, if we figure out the supports and infrastructure to make all of that possible — and it is completely within reach.

I think this is a moment of a lot of possibilities, and openings. Occupy and the 99% movement are really going to break through, and we are going to create a new economy, an economy that we need that works for everyone. Where everyone works, everyone counts and everyone contributes.

Everything that we believe in and count on is really in question right now. Our safety net, public education, housing, health care, so many things that are fundamental to a healthy democracy, are under attack. So I think, in general we've got a lot of work to do.

One thing I've learned, in the face of all kinds of indignities, domestic workers take so much pride in their work and love the children they care for.
