Open letter to @GovKathyHochul: words can't encapsulate the pain and the trauma that tens of thousands of women-of-color home care workers had to take on for brutal 24-hr workdays they toiled under the Hochul administration. New Yorkers demand a response by Election Day.

Thank you, Council Member Carmen De La Rosa @CnDelarosa of District 10 for supporting the No More 24 Act!
Int 175, AKA the No More 24 Act, ends the abusive practice of 24-hour shifts for home attendants by mandating that 24-hour care be split into 2 or more shifts of ≤ 12hours.

We CAN help demand justice Bia the #UN for these women of color locked in inhumane, unhealthy, underpaid work conditions in New York State!
The entire US government has ignored these workers - it’s an international outrage!

We are in a system that treats women of color like dirt and normalizes the violence against them like the 24h workdays. Let’s help #breakthesilence by signing and spreading this petition to the UN to end this ongoing human rights violation. #nomore24 nomore24.org/

In other countries, you take sleep & meal breaks.
In the United States, sleep & meal breaks take you! 🤦🏻
Home care workers are forced to sign a sheet every day alleging they slept 8 hours & neglected their 24-hour care patients 😱

On this day, we honor Justa Barrios. A home care worker, mother, grandmother, and courageous fighter.
She was taken from us two years ago. While the official cause of her death was COVID, it was the racist violence of 24-hour workdays that ultimately killed her.
IGNACIA REYES
Home Attendant
24-hour workdays, 4 days a week, for 20 YEARS.
"All those years I could not sleep. Now, even though I stopped working in 2018, it's not easy for me to fall asleep..."
"All those years having to be vigilant & alert to my patient's needs have affected my sleep & health. I have high blood pressure from all this stress. I have such pain in my two legs from having to stand so much & having to support my patients, helping them to the bathroom..."
"For any of us, 24-hour workdays are inhumane."
Let's end this war on women of color in the US.

We must not divert our eyes when we see harm. We must make our home attendant workers whole. Please don't ignore what has happened simply because it is uncomfortable to see the truth.
HUI LING CHEN
24-hour workdays, 4 days a week, 16 YEARS
"I've been dealing with insomnia, waist strain and bone pain. In order to make a living, I've neglected my own family to do 24-hour home attendant work. @cpc_nyc has not only stolen our wages..."
