Domestic workers tell their stories - stories of their pains, their pride and their efforts to organize for labor rights.Since slavery, the domestic work force has been predominately women of color. With the abolition of slavery African-American women were still the predominate workers, as immigrant women began to enter that workforce. Today, largely women of color, from around the world work as domestic workers. Everyday, 200,000 domestic workers (nannies, companions for the elderly, housekeepers) in New York make it possible for their employers to go to work. Most are employed without a living wage, healthcare, and basic labor protections. Domestic work is vital to the economy and the community, but domestic workers remain invisible, vulnerable, and undervalued. “Your Home, My Work” recognizes and values domestic laborers and their unity in pushing for a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/100301_190001bbridges.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/100301_190001bbridges.MP3 Tue, 02 March 2010 00:00:01 GMT Building Bridges Public Affairs An expanded show ran from 7pm to 11pm.

As the American dream turns into a nightmare for more and more of us, he compares capitalism to a love affair gone astray - lies abuse and betrayal. He takes a look at the core of our basic system and contends that we can do better. Moore’s "Capitalism" is the culmination of his previous works and a look into what a more hopeful future could look like if we changed gears, really democratized our economy, dealt with the increasing disparity of wealth distribution and explored a systemic alternative, socialism. There is much to learn from Moore, particularly about how he communicates with a mass audience on what is generally a taboo topic.
