Résumé

Globally, migrant care workers are a devalued workforce. Long before the pandemic, migrant rights and care shortages were major concerns for feminist adult education scholars, who advocate for critical hope and transformative imaginations. As communication shifts online, physical encounters dwindle while digital solidarities thrive. This paper examines Singapore's live-in migrant care workers and an online Facebook support group that asserts members' rights to receive, not simply provide, care. For my migrant worker activist participants, care and digital activism are mutually interactive processes challenging Singapore's dominant market mentality in family care practices. Power asymmetries often prevent migrant worker activists - disparagingly called "maids" in the local parlance - from mobilizing their transformative feminist imaginations into policy change. My findings reveal how these workers navigate structurally oppressive employment circumstances while building digital solidarity networks. I call for a reciprocal approach to reconfiguring care ethics that centers migrant perspectives. I invite colleagues to join in storytelling about resilient groups embracing critical hope's imaginative power to rewrite public knowledge's status quo.
