Nearly 1 in 5 working moms with children under 4 work in low-paid jobs, making about $10.50 or less. Now, many single moms are struggling to balance caring for their children alone, while navigating heightened economic insecurity. More than ever, these moms need protections like guaranteed paid leave to make it through this economic crisis. #WomenOnTheFrontLines (🎨 by @maya_ishshalom for @newyorkermag)

The stories of these Miami domestic workers show why we urgently need to pass the federal #DomesticWorkersBillofRights, so domestic workers around the country have protections on the job. #WomenOnTheFrontLines Photo 1: What happens if we can’t work? The bills will keep coming. That’s why I’m very worried right now. 64-year-old Gaudalupe used to cook meals for six different Miami families. When the pandemic started, she lost all six clients, including two families for whom she has worked for more than a decade. Photo 2: “The situation is more than difficult. Right now, what worries me most isn’t the disease or my health, it’s the financial part.” Maria has also lost six clients. Her son, who contributes to her $1500/month rent, also recently lost his job at a hotel. (📷 David Santiago, @MiamiHerald)
