Author and activist Ai-jen Poo speaks on transforming the economy of caregiving, from keiki to kupuna.

Ai-jen Poo is the leader of a nationwide campaign to ensure that we all have access to the care we need–for our newborns, for our loved ones in need, and for the elderly–and also that caregivers, disproportionately women of color, have decent, dignified jobs.

Widely regarded as one of the most effective policy advocates in the country, Ai-jen Poo is a MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, a TIME 100 leader, and an advisor to the Biden administration on infrastructure. She is the founder of two nonprofits, the Domestic Workers Alliance and Caring Across Generations, and she is the author of The Age of Dignity: Preparing for the Elder Boom in a Changing America.

The Better Tomorrow Speaker Series is a joint venture of Hawai‘i Community Foundation, Kamehameha Schools, and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Additional series sponsors include the Ulupono Initiative, and the Scholars Strategy Network.
