It's not every day that a major Hollywood movie shines a light on hidden injustice. As discussed in our previous post, the movie "The Help" brought the lives, work, and struggles of domestic workers to the big screen in an unprecedented way. Now, the film's producers, Participant Media, have released a new video series which features members of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. You can watch the video here.
Today, the Washtenaw County Workers' Center, along with other allies in the National Domestic Worker Alliance are launching a new campaign, #BeTheHelp, to give everyone who has been moved by "The Help" a way to be part of improving the lives and working conditions of modern-day domestic workers.
