How can immigrant women workers achieve safe and just work environments free from sexual harassment and violence? Join us as Bernice Yeung, author of In a Day’s Work: The Fight to End Sexual Violence Against America’s Most Vulnerable Workers, shares the harrowing experiences she chronicles in her book. She is joined by Rachel Isreeli of the Center for Family Life’s Cooperative Development Program in Sunset Park. Joanna Morales, a home care worker, will also share her perspective as a worker-owner of Golden Steps Elder Care Cooperative.

Presented in partnership with the Brooklyn Community Foundation and The New Press. Books will be available for purchase in the BHS gift shop and the author will offer signings following the program.
