Communicating Our Power and Hope

When the women of La Colectiva pick up the broom and dustpan, they aren't just clearing away dust—they're clearing a path to respect and pride for domestic workers everywhere. It's a win-win: employers get the peace of mind that comes from having a clean house, and the women of La Colectiva get dignified work in a healthy workplace. But La Colectiva isn't just a place to find work. It's a community for recent immigrants, often separated from their families in a strange new environment. It's an opportunity for civic engagement and activism towards social justice. And it's a step towards a better life.
