How immigrant laborers are forging unexpected bonds while rebuilding disaster-stricken communities
In short: As climate change intensifies the frequency of natural disasters, a specialized group of workers is stepping in to repair the damage. This video explores the human connections formed between displaced residents and the laborers restoring their homes.
Labor organizer Saket Soni introduces Resilience Force, a group composed primarily of immigrant workers. They focus on restoring homes following devastating hurricanes, floods, and fires.
Beyond the physical repairs, Soni highlights the profound, unexpected relationships that develop between the residents whose lives have been upended and the workers helping to rebuild their communities.
