Presented with Hand in Hand, this panel explores the complex reality of care relationships shaped by histories of racism, ableism, and exploitation. We'll examine what power and equity can look like in relationships of care, acknowledging that care isn't charity and survival isn't enough. At this crucial intersection where disability justice meets domestic worker rights, where immigrant justice meets racial justice, we'll discuss some of the challenging parts, including how our trauma can show up in these relationships, how systems like capitalism, etc., can force us to be in unhealthy or harmful relationships. We will also share stories of solidarity, mutual interdependence, and creative solutions that folks have developed in the face of the commodification of care.
