Book Club: The Age of Dignity

Start: 2021-05-27 19:30:00 UTC Eastern Daylight Time (US & Canada) (GMT-04:00)

This is a virtual event

Join Hand in Hand and partner Persist Brooklyn to discuss The Age of Dignity, written by Ai-jen Poo, Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. We'll think together about the growing population of aging Americans, and the crucial role that care work will play in the coming decades.

When we think about the word dignity, how do we think about what it means in terms of ourselves as we age or our aging loved ones? And what does it mean in terms of the people who provide support in our homes?

Together, we'll learn from Ai-jen Poo about how to build the caring economy that will benefit all of us. Can't read the entire book? Listen to this episode of On Being, or watch Ai-jen’s TED Talk.

This event will be in English with closed captions.
