“Because, in order to organize ourselves politically, we first had to hold each other up.”
This sentence was the seed from which this booklet slowly grew. Across 100 pages, migrant domestic workers organized around Territorio Doméstico and the Jeanneth Beltrán Observatory share their story, their demands, and the many ways they struggle and build community together. It is an inspiration for all who fight for a better world — theory forged at street level.
Written by Rafaela Pimentel Lara, Constanza Cisneros, Amalia Caballero, and Ana Rojo, these words were shaped in workshops among comrades, accompanied by La Laboratoria.
Illustrations by Ana Penya, Iconoclasistas, and Fran Cabeza de Vaca.
Proofreading by Javier Olmos.
Layout by Taller de Traficantes de Sueños & Common Ecologies.
Originally published in Spanish by La Laboratoria, with support from the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (Vera Bartolomé) and the Foundation for Arts Initiatives, this book now finds its way into English through the initiative and dedication of Common Ecologies.
