MacArthur Fellowship recipient and Labor Activist Ai-jen Poo joins Laura to talk about the Silver Tsunami — the crisis of care facing the country, and the power of storytelling to humanize the lived experiences of the people who provide that care. They explore the role of systemic racism, the economic instability of the healthcare system for an aging populace, and the urgency of the Domestic Worker’s Bill of Rights to ensure that essential workers care for their own families while they care for all of us.
