New Guide to Domestic Workers' Rights in California Published Online

****************************
1) "Rights Begin at Home: Defending Domestic Workers' Rights in California"

Household workers are outraged by the Governor's decision to veto AB2536,
but they are undeterred in their struggle to win dignity and respect for
domestic workers. Today, Friday, October 6, we are publishing “Rights Begin
at Home: Defending Domestic Workers’ Rights in California.” With this online
advocates guide Mujeres Unidas y Activas and the Women’s Collective of La
Raza Centro Legal will ensure that more advocates and domestic workers
around the state know and defend their rights. The guide is a collaboration
with the National Employment Law Project and features data collected through
a participatory research project about the domestic work industry in the Bay
Area with the help of the Data Center. The guide can be viewed and
