Priscilla Gonzalez, Director of Domestic Workers United, writes:

The moment is finally here. Governor Paterson will indeed be signing the Bill of Rights into law this coming Tuesday at 11am!!

After 400 years in the shadows of slavery.....
75 years of invisibility and exclusion under US labor law.....
6 years of a hard-fought struggle in the New York State legislature.....
Domestic workers are finally gaining rights, respect, and recognition.

Join us for the historic ceremony at the new Harriet Tubman Memorial Plaza, a traffic triangle, at the intersection of Frederick Douglass Boulevard (formerly Eighth Avenue) at St. Nicholas Avenue and 122nd Street.

See you all there!!!!

This is good news! It is said that overseas domestic helpers are the living heroes. With the tax and dollars that they've given to our economy is truly helpful. Good thing that after a long wait our domestic helpers will gaining their rights, respect, and recognition that they deserves. Hopefully, with this signed Bill of Rights equality and humility will prevails. I salute our domestic helpers who are doing their best in providing service and loyalty to their bosses.
