Season 2 Ep 6 Who's the Fairest - a podcast by Bama Athreya

Who's the Fairest documents the surprise ending to this season: the wave of protests by beauty care workers in India in late December 2021.  We talk to a journalist who covered the protests about how the women found each other, why they organized, and how they are facing unprecedented company intimidation.  We also continue our interview with Palak Shah of the National Domestic Workers' Alliance about new strategies for collective action in the US.  The season closer also asks what we all can do to support these workers, and a more fair care economy.

Guests:  Soumyarendra Barik, Indian Journalist and Palak Shah, National Domestic Workers' Alliance
