Our history
“CARE SD was born out of the need for caregivers to be seen and heard and be part of the conversation in the health care sector. It started in 2012 in an afternoon tea when a group of caregivers started to talk about their life and work situations as immigrants, mothers and as workers. Collaborating with other non-profit groups in San Diego, CARE SD filed its first wage case of an undocumented caregiver whose wages was regularly stolen by her agency. The employer paid a settlement amount which inspired and encouraged many caregivers to come out and assert their rights. CARE SD will never cease to exist as long as injustices at workplaces continue.”
