In this interview, 2014 MacArthur Fellow Ai-jen Poo discusses the critical need to advocate for “women who do the work that makes all other work possible.” Poo is a labor organizer whose advocacy for home-based care workers—nannies, housekeepers, and eldercare workers—is helping to transform working conditions and labor standards for millions of people. Because an estimated 1–2 million domestic workers in the U.S. are still excluded from most federal and state labor laws, Poo continues to catalyze this movement for respect and improved working conditions.
