Wages For Housework Campaign

The Wages for Housework Campaign in Philadelphia is part of the Global Women's Strike, an international grassroots network advocating for recognition and payment for all caring work, both in the home and on the land. Founded by Selma James in 1972, the campaign redefines the concept of the working class, emphasizing the importance of unwaged labor and the need for a Care Income for those engaged in caregiving activities.

This collective movement incorporates diverse autonomous organizations, including Black Women for Wages for Housework and the US PROStitutes Collective, and seeks to highlight the contributions of mothers, domestic workers, and land defenders. Through various campaigns and events, it aims to end existing power relations and demand financial recognition for unwaged labor worldwide.
