Andolan Photograph

DESCRIPTION
An office warming party to celebrate their new space. Andolan went from meeting in Nahar's kitchen to sharing an office space with DRUM (whose co-founder had also won the Union Square Award that same year). They started writing grants and fundraising, and in 2003, were able to secure our own office space in Jackson Heights--a place for workers to feel at home, to meet, to organize. It was also a community space where people came to in order to seek help, resources, and refuge from abusive practices all around. In these photos are volunteers, Andolan members, Domestic Workers United members, DRUM co-founder Monami Maulik, CUNY Immigration Law Clinic Professor (at that time) Sameer Ashar, and other well-wishers.
