Home Attendant, New York City
24-hour Shifts, 3 Days a Week, 10 YEARS
"I have taken care of a patient for 10 years. The patient cannot take care of himself. Every day I have to move him several times to sit in the wheelchair. I have to use all my strength to move the patient, that's why my waist, hand and shoulders are often strained.
My day off can only be used for physical therapy. For a long time, in order to make a living, I have dealt with fatigue, lack of sleep, psychasthenia, waist pain and leg pain. What's even more ridiculous is that there is no pay for hours we work at night! It's like being a slave. I filled in the work record from every night on the details of all the tasks I have to do whenever I woke up then I gave it to my employer, Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC). The next month, I was fired."
End the war on women of color in the US!

Home Attendant
24-hour workdays, 4 days a week, for 20 YEARS.
"All those years I could not sleep. Now, even though I stopped working in 2018, it's not easy for me to fall asleep. All those years of having to be vigilant and alert to my patient's needs have affected my sleep and my health. I have high blood pressure from all this stress. I have such pain in my two legs from having to stand so much and having to support my patients, helping them to the bathroom. For any of us, 24-hours is inhumane."
Let's end this war on women of color in the US.

For many years, home care agencies have forced thousands of home attendants to work grueling 24-hour shifts
This is violence.
The workers have spoken out, through every possible channel.
That's why they need your help. To break the wall of silence that's used so employers can keep abusing women of color.
