Black Women’s Labor: A Labor Day Conversation on Care & Economic Justice
Join Oxfam America, Forward Justice, and the North Carolina Black Alliance for a community event that will bring lived experience into dialogue with policy.
A grounded community conversation connecting lived experiences of labor, caregiving, and maternal health to economic realities and policy.
Across North Carolina, families are navigating rising costs, unstable work, growing caregiving responsibilities, and persistent inequities in maternal health and access to care. Black women, in particular, are often being asked to carry more while receiving less support, fewer protections, and fewer pathways to economic stability.
We’ll hear directly from Black working women, caregivers, workers, and community members, while creating space for advocates and policymakers to respond and identify opportunities for meaningful action.
Expect powerful community stories, honest conversation, opportunities to connect with local leaders, and concrete ways to take action.
Come for the food and fellowship. Stay for the stories, solutions, and a chance to help shape a stronger future for North Carolina families.
The event will take place at Lula and Sadie’s (2022 Chapel Hill Rd, Durham, NC 27707) on Thursday, September 3 • 5 PM – 9 PM
