In Episode 1 of a powerful new podcast series led by Mamaroneck High School student Jolie Shine and her classmates in the Original Civic Research and Action Program, the focus is on domestic workers—particularly nannies and house cleaners—and their rights, regardless of immigration status. Joined by experts from the Worker Justice Center of New York and the Community Justice Program, this episode unpacks how documentation status can impact the relationship between domestic workers and their employers, and why every worker deserves dignity, fair pay, and protection under the law. Key topics include:
- Rights of undocumented workers
- The impact of immigration threats
- Legal protections against exploitation
- The importance of community education
Special thanks to our guests for sharing their expertise and to the students for driving change in their community!
