Sponsorship Our Garifuna Heritage Month 2025

The Domestic Workers Ordinance gives domestic workers the right to minimum wage protections, meal periods, and paid rest breaks. Live-in domestic workers have rights to time off from work. Under City law, domestic workers also have a right to keep their personal documents and possessions. This law protects domestic workers regardless of their employment status or immigration status. This law has been in effect since July 1, 2019.

ALA Garifuna Women is hosting our second annual Garifuna Heritage Month- a month-long celebration of Garifuna culture and history, featuring community workshops, performances and celebrations in one full event in April. Garifuna Heritage Month is an opportunity to celebrate the resilience of the Garifuna people.
