Scope and content

Series contains promotional and educational materials, administrative records for LARA, project files, and newspaper clippings. Rachel Epstein was involved in establishing LARA. She began working with immigrant domestic workers through a Company of Young Canadians where she met with domestic workers and learned about their lives, the poor quality of their working conditions, and the uncertainty of their immigration status. Epstein helped domestic workers in Vancouver to organize and, through LARA, helped lobby the provincial government for changes to labour legislation to include and protect domestic and farmworkers.

Series contents include: promotional and educational materials (pamphlets, posters, and information booklets), administrative records (incorporation documents for LARA, meeting minutes, correspondence, fundraising and endorsement solicitation and receipt, and an application to Young Canada Works), individual project files (slide tape program, community awareness program), and several files relating to the establishment of the Farmworker Legal Information Service (FLIS).
