Imagine being the primary caretaker for your employer- making sure they take their medication, taking them to all their doctors appointments, cooking for them… the list goes on. For Denise, a domestic worker, the amount of jobs she does in a day is endless. Then the pandemic hit, and Denise didn’t stop caring for her employers. For domestic workers, many of whom are undocumented, the pandemic exacerbated a lack of protections that was already grave. Roundtable guest: Kristina Mevs-Apgar from the National Domestic Workers Alliance.
