Reading & viewing: Our best of 2017

--

This was a year of stories. A year of lies, secrets, and “fake news,” and the investigations, truths, and #metoo movements that revealed them. Racism, sexism, greed and hate filled the halls of power. Hope, cooperation, courage and love filled the streets.

This year we learned how much we stand to lose, and also how much we each have to give. Our stories reveal our vulnerabilities and our strengths. But if the news cycle has felt like an un-reality, the stories you’ve shared this year have staying power and reveal deep meaning.

Here’s the best of what YOU did this year:

Stories you told:

Stories the media told that broke that are shaping the culture around care:

Stories told in pictures:

This year was so big we could go on and on. This list doesn’t even begin to cover how we met with gubernatorial candidates in California, launched a first-of-its-kind report on employers in New York State, and participated in the largest march in American history.

What’s on your personal best-of list when you think about love, care, support, justice, resistance, and hope? Tell us a story, send us a picture, show us a Top 10 list. Reply to us directly or tag us on social (facebook.com/domesticemployers and @hihemployers on Twitter).
