Hand in Hand: Domestic Employers Network Sanctuary Homes training

Across our city, immigrant communities are facing racial profiling and the real threat of ICE abduction, regardless of immigration status. This includes immigrant domestic workers who care for our families while supporting their own. People who hire nannies, house cleaners, caregivers, and gardeners have a unique role to play in keeping our communities safe. This training educates domestic employers and allies about immigrant & domestic worker rights. Participants will leave the training well on their way to building an emergency plan with the workers in their home.

Federal Unionists Network
Join or start a union
The Trump Administration is waging an immoral, illegal campaign to dismantle agencies, eliminate vital jobs, and rob the public of the services, protection, and care they deserve. They are hollowing out the government to enrich themselves, and in doing so, they are attacking the very people we serve. Join or start a union where you work to increase your power to defend the people and agencies who serve them.
Training Available
Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC)
Ever wondered how to form a union at work?
This EWOC training series will help you and your co-workers build your union from the ground up. You’ll hear from experienced organizers and people like you who are organizing their own workplaces. In small discussion groups with participants across the US and beyond, you'll practice connecting with your co-workers, discover what you need to take strategic action around common concerns, and prepare for what the boss has in store.
Ongoing campaign
Nuevo Sol Day Labor and Domestic Worker Center
Find out where day laborers and other immigrant workers in your community are at risk of harassment and arrest. Go there and commit to showing up regularly. Be present. Be consistent. Build relationships and offer protection. Stand beside immigrants in the face of injustice—peacefully, powerfully, with love and care. We don’t need to feed their violence, we need to build community. Remember: Solo el pueblo salva al pueblo. Only the people save the people. That has always been true—and never more than now.

San Francisco Labor Council
Building Trades Craft Unions Offer Apprenticeship Programs
From our friends at the San Francisco Building and Constructions Trades Council
Building Trades Apprenticeships prepare women and men for careers in construction. Although all construction employment is temporary, these careers are genuine. Continuity between employers is achieved generally through the union hiring hall system. Pay is good to excellent, health benefits are provided both for workers and their families, and retirement plans are among the best and most stable in this country.
