The Legal Lens podcast conversation this week features Jenn Stowe, executive director of the @domesticworkers (NDWA) and head of @CareinActionUS.
Jenn shares how Dorothy Bolden, known as the mother of the private domestic workers’ movement, began organizing domestic workers in Atlanta beginning in the 1960s and 1970s. Bolden’s approach emphasized patience, dignity, and long-term relationship building, meeting workers where they were and helping them see their own power.
The conversation covers how Bolden’s organizing model influenced how domestic workers organize today, from local chapters to national coalitions 🔗
Jenn explains how the movement has grown from Atlanta to a national presence spanning nearly 20 years, with domestic workers across the country continuing to build power through organized efforts focused on dignity, fair pay, and working conditions.
