Cuando Elisa se levantó de su silla en la sede de Mujeres Unidas y Activas, un grupo activista de mujeres latinas e indígenas, buscó un bastón para apoyarse. Hace unos años, de camino al trabajo, Elisa se resbaló en unas escaleras y sufrió una fuerte caída. El accidente le dejó lesiones permanentes y agravó las deformidades con las que había nacido en ambos pies. Las secuelas han tenido una grave consecuencia toda su vida. De repente, ya no podía trabajar. Sus ingresos desaparecieron, lo que la obligó a abandonar su hogar.

Elisa is a longtime caregiver for older adults and people with disabilities. Like many caregivers, she was born abroad, and her story is one of many examples of how the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant attacks are on a collision course with a nationwide staffing crisis in the care economy. Programs that support older adults and those with disabilities face cuts, and those populations increasingly rely on people like Elisa — who, as a disabled immigrant worker, is more and more vulnerable to exploitation by employers.

Facing looming threats to healthcare programs, the implementation of anti-immigrant policies, and the outsized role of billionaires in Trump’s administration, protesters gathered at Airbnb’s headquarters in San Francisco with message for state and local elected officials: “Get a f—ing backbone,” said demonstrator Fred Sherburn-Zimmer, organizing and policy director at the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco.

Around 200 people gathered outside of Airbnb’s headquarters in the South of Market neighborhood on March 28 to denounce the dismantling of government programs and call on members of Congress to push back on cuts.
