During , we are asking a material question: can Latina workers and families afford to remain in San Francisco?
October 8 is . It marks how far into the year Latinas must work to reach what white, non Hispanic men earned the year before. Here, that gap meets a median asking rent of $4,400 for a one bedroom apartment.
The gap is carried through extra shifts, delayed care, debt, crowded housing, and less freedom to leave an unsafe job.
We do not need another argument about how much contributes. No one’s access to housing, rest, safety, or a future should depend on whether the market considers their work valuable.
The demands are concrete: recover stolen wages, stop retaliation, protect workers regardless of immigration status, include domestic workers in labor protections, and keep families in their communities.
We cannot honor a community while pricing it out.
