This poster entitled, “I Deeply Appreciate Your Work,” by Micah Bazant, has been designed as a way to show appreciation for those who support us with their caregiving and domestic work.
This poster is a way to show our appreciation to the people in our lives who do the work that goes unrecognized— caring for our children and loved ones, keeping our homes clean, managing household details like grocery lists, cooking, repairs, appointments, and the everyday essential that we need to care for ourselves, our families and communities.
Who is someone you appreciate for their work in your home? How have they made a difference your life?
“Highlighting our appreciation for domestic workers and caregivers, who have for too long been treated as invisible, is a crucial step to transforming our values as a society, and undoing the legacy of systemic racism and sexism that have left this workforce without rights and protections. This poster is a beautiful way to show that appreciation.” — Ai-jen Poo, Executive Director, National Domestic Workers Alliance
