Adriana George Advocates for Domestic Workers' Rights, Reshaping American Democracy
Adriana George, an immigrant from the Caribbean, has become a prominent advocate for domestic workers' rights in the United States. After moving to Philadelphia, George transitioned from her role as a nanny to a full-time organizer with the National Domestic Workers Alliance. She leads the We Dream in Black program in Pennsylvania, focusing on the rights of Black, Afro-Latina, and Caribbean domestic workers. George's activism is rooted in her personal experiences and the collective grievances of domestic workers who face abuse and exploitation. Her efforts have led to significant legislative changes in Philadelphia, including laws that protect workers from abusive employers and ensure fair treatment. George's work is part of a broader movement to expand the scope of American democracy, challenging historical exclusions and advocating for equality and justice.
